Interclub Sevens

Post Section for the Sevens was on today. Our Ladies Div 1 team unfortunately lost their morning match so couldn't progress to the final.

In the Men's Sevens our Div 1 lads cleaned out Oxford in their semi 3 zip. They then came up against Burnside in the final. Unfortunately Burnside secured 2 wins to our 1 and took out the trophy.

President's Message

On behalf of the Belfast Bowling Club, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year. It is a great time to be spending quality time with family and friends, so sit back and enjoy the festive season.

We have the National bowls singles and pairs at Belfast starting 2 January 2026, schedule of games at our Club as follows:

• 2 January 2026 Men's Singles

• 3 January 2026 Men's Singles

• 6 January 2026 Men's pairs

• 7 January 2026 Women's Singles

• 8 January 2026 Men's pairs

For the singles games, we urgently need markers, we currently do not have enough to support these games.  If you can, we would appreciate it.  Please advise Ann Martin on 0273142351.

During these dates, we will provide lunch to anyone who needs it. The bar will also be open later on those days. Club Members are welcome to come and enjoy bowls and a cold one later.

We will be back to Thursday night meals and club nights from 15 January 2026.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the corporate events pre-Christmas; your help was greatly appreciated.

The gardens look fantastic, and the annual judging can't be too far away for everyone who has helped with the garden. Well done. Good Luck.

Stay safe and best wishes for 2026.

We would also like helpers in the kitchen for 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th January. Please get in touch with Ann or Jill if you can help.
