The West Warwicks bowlers enjoyed a very successful 2019 season. Under Club Captain Brian ‘Buster’ Chilwell the team lifted the Business Houses league title by a considerable margin helped by some exceptional teams results and a clutch of outstanding individual performances over the season.

Here’s the final league table:

To indicate how well the team performed collectively and individually the league individual averages table was dominated by West Warwicks players with seven players featuring in the top 20 league performers. Notably topping the averages our own Graham Holder, with Andy Taggart in 2^nd place. Our most improved player Alan Miller finished in 4^th place with Andrew Taggart in 6^th place. Jim Ridley finished in 9^th place, with Ken Buckley in 11^th place and Bernie Seery in 14th place.

A special mention also needs to go to Brian Dudley our oldest player at 90 years old, who again had a great season. He showed great skill and determination to come out on top in many crucial games, both at home and away. Long may he continue.

The players would also like to extend their thanks to Brian ‘Buster’ Chilwell who after many successful years as Club Captain has decided to stand down, he remains as Treasurer. Jim Seery will take over as Captain for the coming season.

Buster finished on an amazing high and anyone will have a hard job to match or exceed those achievements and contributions he has made to the bowls club over the years. He has worked tirelessly for years raising funds and organising functions to raise money.

West Warwicks Bowls Club also finished a creditable 4^th in the East Birmingham Tuesday Evening Bowls League.

The new Bowls season fixtures were due to start on the 4^th April 2020 with West Warwicks playing our first fixture is on Saturday 25^th April Vs The Old Cross at home. Unfortunately due to efforts to contain the spread of Coronavirus, the start of the season has been postponed until further notice.

Previous, to the Coronavirus crisis, we had also been hoping to open the green before the end of March and also to complete the erection of the clubhouse and other essential works. As soon as we are able to resume, we’ll get on to this and also hold some Open Days for new members, where anyone wishing to learn the game is welcome to come along and join us. For the moment however, in line with advice from the government West Warwickshire Sports Complex is closed.

Please keep yourselves healthy and as soon as the current health crisis has passed we’ll be up and running again. Watch this space for updates…..
