The Hungerford Bowling Club had a lovely game against the Falklands Bowls Team and they presented us with a shield and a card to say thank you for our hospitality and allowing them some valuable practice on grass. We of course wished them well as they travel to Orkney to compete in the Island Games 2025
Bowls has been included in previous Island Games but has been played indoors. This year the competition will be played outdoors on real grass! The Falkland team do not have a bowling green so are having a week of training at the Ramsbury and Aldbourne Bowls Club
