Eaglesham Bowling Club

Wee update from this week

Ricky Perry Triples final played on Monday.
Congratulations to Tom McDonald, Charlie Gorman and Allan Wardle, commiserations to Ali Campbell, Craig Parker and David Kerr
These two teams plus one other will represent the club in GBA Millennium triples starting on Wednesday 24 June.

Last night in RBA, successful night for our triples of Peter Blair, Charlie Gorman and Alan Gray who defeated Cathcart and our Sponsored fours team of David Dave McClean, John Price Jim McLean and Jim French who beat Giffnock.
Both teams play quarter finals next week at Barrhead v Wellcroft and Pollokshaws respectively.

In GBA singles tonight Alan Gray scraped through 21-18 v Kingswood at Clarkston, quarter finals next Wed at Cardonald.
Still awaiting news of our fours team who were playing at North British.

Bowls Scotland resumes tomorrow afternoon and night all the best to all our players.

Unsure of how ladies performed this week in external games, someone that knows can maybe post something.

Club doing well, keep it going!

Finally the World cup sweepstake sheets need to be handed behind bar by Wednesday 10th June at latest, you all must know someone that follows football ⚽

For anyone playing in RBA ties at Eaglesham tonight there will be no catering after the game, apologies for this but apparently per a vote it was decided nothing would be provided after the game, personally I think that's a shame but we will continue to provide catering for GBA and bowls Scotland games at club.

Busy week at club with internal ties and external ties this week.

All the best to everyone representing the club in all the ladies games (see attached) and gents out in RBA, GBA and Bowls Scotland games.
