Friendly Match Report – Saturday 20th September 2025

Oxford & County Bowls Club vs Bicester Bowls Club

On a rather overcast Saturday afternoon, the Bicester Bowls Club team made the trip to Oxford, hoping the weather would hold long enough for a friendly match against Oxford & County Bowls Club. We were lucky, and despite a couple of brief sharp showers, we managed to complete all eighteen ends of Triples across six rinks. The green was in excellent condition and played very well, offering both teams the opportunity for some good shots.

Despite some solid efforts, Bicester came up short, with Oxford & County claiming victory by ninety-four shots to eighty. Well played, Oxford & County! Special mention goes to our highest-scoring rink, led by Skip Gordon Davies, No.2 Mick Roberts, and Lead Julie Harris. Well done to that team for putting up a strong fight! 😊

While the weather may have been a bit damp, the atmosphere was warm with great company and plenty of laughter, making the day a memorable one. We’re already looking forward to next season’s match with Oxford & County, and fingers crossed for a bit more sunshine next time!

In addition, both teams have agreed to arrange a friendly indoor match at Oxford & County sometime over the winter season. Here’s to a fun rematch in 2026!

 

Friendly Match Report – Sunday 14th September 2025
Long Crendon Bowls Club vs Bicester Bowls Club

We made the journey to Long Crendon on a rather overcast Sunday afternoon, hoping the rain would hold off long enough for our friendly match with the Long Crendon Bowls Club. Unfortunately, the weather had other plans. After a few ends, the rain intensified, and the match had to be called off as the green became too muddy to continue playing.

With only a few ends played by all five teams in the triples match, the match was officially declared a draw. Everyone then retreated to the clubhouse to dry off and enjoy a drink, along with the highlight of the afternoon—a raffle prize draw.

Despite the wet conditions, the day was still filled with good company and plenty of laughter. We’re already looking forward to next season's match with Long Crendon, hoping for a little more sunshine and a full game. Here's to better weather and a great rematch in 2026!

 

Friendly Match Report – Sunday 7th September 2025

Bucks West End Bowls Club vs Bicester Bowls Club

On a lovely Sunday afternoon, Bicester Bowls Club made the journey to Bucks West End Bowls Club for a friendly encounter played across six rinks, with teams of three players each. Bicester was led by match captain Gordon Davies, and both clubs were eager to enjoy a spirited and competitive game in the true spirit of sportsmanship.

Despite Bicester’s determined efforts, it was Bucks West End who emerged victorious with a strong overall score of 117 shots to Bicester’s 71. Congratulations to Bucks West End on their well-deserved win, and a big thank you to all players for their commitment and good humour on a green that offered its own set of challenges!

Bicester’s top-performing rink was skipped by Alan Wagner, with Vernon Groves at No. 2 and Marie Roberts leading the way—a well-earned highlight for the visiting team.

It was a genuine pleasure to spend the afternoon with our friends at Bucks West End, and we’re already looking forward to the return fixture next year. Until then, it's back to the greens for more practice, friendly competition, and shared enjoyment of the game.

Well played, everyone—and see you next time!
