Sherfield English v Chelmsford District, Bowls Match 16/07/26

We were honoured to host Chelmsford Bowls Association as part of their bowling tour itinerary. Formed in 1945, the Association is made up of clubs from Chelmsford and surrounding area.

They travelled from Bournemouth and arrived punctually. The first task was to raise their flag on the pole. Smartly dressed in all white with neck ties, the men and women gathered on the green. After an introduction by the President, they were given permission to remove their ties…it was a hot afternoon!

Cream teas were enjoyed half way through the match, thank you to Jenny and Darryl for organising.

The match restarted and the 6 rinks were shared 3 - 3 at the end of the match. Totalling the scorecards, Sherfield English narrowly lost by 10

Everyone really enjoyed the afternoon and Chelmsford entertained us to the end with a choral song!  Sherfield English cannot thank them enough for their generosity and sportsmanship.
