Sherfield English welcomed Timber Trundlers Bowling Association for a friendly match. The Trundlers are a unique touring team, travelling to various clubs to play matches using antique, wooden bowls made of extremely heavy Lignum Vitae wood which was phased out in the 1950s.
Mixed Fours were played on each rink, with a total of 48 players. All matches a balance of humour and serious play.
Sherfield English won 109 - 82, keeping their impressive winning run going into the Torquay Tour. We look forwards to welcoming the Trundlers back in 2027.
