Preview: Featuring this coming weekend at BOWLS HASTINGS!

Because of inclement weather BHB Women’s Champion of Champion Junior Singles and Men’s COC Junior pairs will be played at Bowls Hastings’ indoor stadium on Saturday 13th May. 

Sunday will see the Men’s Junior Singles and the women’s junior pairs played at the same venue.

ALL four rounds will be played, therefore these events will not be part of the Finals day scheduled for 27/28 May.
