Today's First Round matches both went down to the last couple of ends with Woodend defeating Culter 4-2 and Newhills defeating Seafield 4-2. The winners now play each other in the QF on Thursday 23rd July.

A fantastic climax to the 2026 Benachie League season tonight.

After gaining promotion to League A last season the objective was to consolidate our place up with the big boys and avoid relegation.

Well thanks to a 60-48 win tonight at home to Kemnay we've finished with 10 points only narrowly missing out on second place on shot difference.
Our two defeats came away from home to the top two (Harlaw A and Tarves) but those games apart, the whole squad can be proud of their performance throughout the campaign.

A massive thanks from myself and Mainzer to everyone who has played their part 👏

For the record, Harlaw A are Champions, Pitmedden and Newmachar have been relegated to League B, Rothienorman and Harlaw B have been promoted to League A.

The Brian Gray Triples competition was held this weekend and the winners were Charlie Clubb, Adrian Allan and Sheena Mackie, who defeated Graeme Bruce, Arthur McWilliam and Mike Bissett in the Final. 🏆

Well played everyone 👏

Massive congratulations to Debbie, Karen and Aileen who beat Oldmeldrum 20-5 in the Final of the Bowls Scotland District 3 Ladies nationals to qualify for Ayr.

Ayr two years on the spin for the girls, brilliant achievement now go and win it 👏

A mixed set of results for the club tonight in the various Bon Accord Leagues as follows.....

In the Fours away to Abergeldie, one rink won by 13 and the other lost by 12 so we picked up the bonus point to leave with 3 points.

In the Triples, also versus Abergeldie, the home lads won by 10 and the away lads won by 14 to come away with the maximum 5 points continuing their stellar season 👏

In the Mixed Triples, Balgownie A lost by 3 at home to Northern B but Balgownie B won by 7 away to Polmuir.

Well done all 👏

Not to be for our Gents Triples team of Craig, Graeme and Mainzer who were beaten by Tarves in the Bowls Scotland District 3 Final tonight at Harlaw.

The lads played really well though in a high quality match which was finely balanced at 7-7 after 11 ends. Tarves however scored a 4 and a 3 in ends 12 and 13 respectively which in the end was the difference. Massive credit though boys, a great run and you did yourselves and the club proud. 👏👏

A comprehensive 69-36 win for the lads at home to Kintore tonight in our penultimate Benachie Division A match of the 2026 season. 👏👏

Depending on shot difference, a win at home next week against Kemnay could see us clinch 2nd place which would be our highest league finishing position for a good number of years. (I'm sure someone will tell us how many years).

Well done lads, a brilliant performance all round tonight 👏
