Friendly Match Report – Saturday 13th June 2026
Bicester Bowls Club vs Waddesdon Bowls Club

On a lovely warm afternoon, we welcomed Waddesdon Bowls Club to our green for a friendly mixed triples match played across six rinks. The match was played to18 ends. Gordon Davies for Bicester captained the match, and the teams were eager to enjoy a fun and competitive match in the spirit of good sportsmanship.

We would like to express our appreciation to Cathy Day, Gail Wetherly and Phil Crane for helping Waddesdon out by playing on their team, as they were short of players on the day. Thanks everyone!

Despite Waddesdon giving a good performance, Bicester triumphed on the day with a winning score of 68 shots to Waddesdon’s 50 shots. Congratulations to Bicester on their victory, and a big well done to all the players who gave their best on the green which was in beautiful condition.

Bicester’s highest scoring rink with a score of 22-15 was led by Skip, Peter Hesketh with No. 2 Jill Benn and Charlie Evans in the lead role.

It was a pleasure to meet with our friends from Waddesdon Bowls Club who are a very experienced team, and everyone is looking forward to playing them again on their home turf later this year. Until then, it’s back to the greens
