The Bloomfield Ladies’ Vice President, Dawn Barnaby, welcomed the top county lady bowlers from Somerset and Hampshire.

Before handing over the green to the visiting teams Mrs Barnaby said: “Once again, after the very successful county finals event last year, it is a great honour for Bloomfield to be chosen as the hosts for this event.”

The ladies, who travelled from every corner of Somerset and Hampshire, fought out a 6-rink competition on a glorious summer day, with Somerset as the eventual winners.

As the outdoor season is soon coming to an end, the green bowled extremely well given recent poor weather.

Should you be interested in taking up the sport, please contact Bloomfield: 01225 425825, the club offers the first year membership free which includes free coaching by Somerset and Bowls England coaches.
