SADBA CHARITY GALA 2024

SADBA CHARITY GALA 2024

Potters Bar once again excelled in its hospitality by hosting the SADBA Charity Gala for the Strofton Trophy on 12th September with proceeds going to the Charity “Happy Days”.

This year 18 teams gathers on a dry but very chilly September morning but with a forecast of variable weather and, sure enough, the day was later punctuated with some heavy rain showers.  That did not spoil the fun as teams of three were gathered to bowl with keen competition and fabulous (and not so fabulous!) bowling throughout the day.  Potters Bar as ever provided an excellent lunch and a super green that bowled fast and true.

The result was so close that the top two teams could not be seperated so 1st and 2nd prizes were combined and split between them.  The joint winners are:-

“Golden girls”  ( Potters Bar)
D Jewell, S Jewell, P Rodger
and
“The Plums”  (North Mymms)
A Harman – U Harman – A Parsonage

SADBA FINALS DAY 2024

SADBA FINALS DAY – 7th September 2024

SADBA Finals day was once again held at Harpenden Bowls Club, on Saturday 7th September.  It was a great day following a superb Jones Cup final, also at Harpenden BC, on the evening before.

Harpenden BC made us all welcome and provided a super Green and very kind and warm support.  The Ladies in the kitchen did a great job looking after all of us throughout the day, the green was manicured before we arrived and the events ran smoothly.

The standard of bowling and sportsmanship was fantastic and our thanks to all the bowlers for this.  There were a good number of spectators all day and a lovely atmosphere both on and around the Green.

The full list of results can be found here: Finals Day 2024 Results

Thank you to everyone.    Photographs taken by Chris Linfield of Harpenden

JONES CUP FINAL 2024

JONES CUP FINAL 2024

The Jones Cup Final between St Albans and Welwyn & District was held on Friday 6th September at Harpenden.  It was a fantastic game played on a superb green.    It was a cloudy evening which resulted in poor light towards the end but that did not stop the determination of both teams and excellent bowling.    It was a close finish with Welwyn & District taking the title.

Well done to both teams for great match in a friendly and competitive spirit.
