EL CID MARCH ON!
7th January - today El Cid took on Bonalba in the quarter final of the Premier 20. With a singles, pairs , trips and rinks at each venue a fantastic home result seeing El Cid win all four matches. The highlight being a 21-4 win for Velia Wood in the Singles. At Bonalba in very breezy conditions it was a much tighter encounter. However El Cid took the points to win the overall match with a 1 shot win for Richard Warrilow and Stewart Beattie in the Pairs and a brilliant fightback in the Trips seeing Jan Philips, Hazel Brown and Jill Glastonbury take a 2 shot win. So Now we await the result of the other quarter final San Miguel v Emeralds Isle!
BOXING DAY FUN
SEASONS GREETINGS EVERYONE!
This year saw one of the biggest ever turn outs for the Boxing Day Fun ! 22 bowlers on the green including 4 new bowlers and guests. A normal session of 18 ends in stunning weather.Lots of Christmas clothing and accessories and Club Member Tania Rivers-Eddies added to the fun by bringing along some "face changers" Definitely some very dodgy results. With some members bringing along food and then Club President John Feek inviting everyone to join him for an amazing array of tapas afterwards a very enjoyable day!
What a year for El Cid. Safe to say things were not looking good earlier in the year. However now with our replacement carpet down and playing well and solid covers at both ends of the green things are looking good for the future.
In the Leagues El Cid are going very well. The Sabres start 2025 at the top of the Northern League by an impressive 18 points. The Winter League start the year with 57 points in 3rd place, thats just 6 points behind the leaders San Luis and following a late run of excellent results the Swords have started their rise up the table.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR AND OF COURSE
HAPPY BOWLING!
