LADIES COUNTY FINALS AND MENS SEMI FINALS SUCCESS 🔴🟡⚫️

Well what a weekend it has just been for Braintree bowls club as the ladies county finals and mens county semi finals produced some fantasic results for the club.

Firstly ladies county finals which were held at Romford bowls club saw the club have participation in 4 county finals, a record which in itself is fantasic but the results which followed were even more special.

First up was the Junior Singles, Braintree were being represented by Evie Mills here and she didnt disappoint winning the title with a 21-9 victory over essex county's Gracie Burch.

Triples were next Braintree represented by Leah Bamford, Alison Smart and Serena Madgewick, another Fantastic performance so the girls claim the title with a 24-8 win vs Debbie Sales, Doreen Butcher and Hayley Halford from Dunmow

The Afternoon session saw the club claim 2 more titles to take the total for the day to 4. The county 2 Wood singles title was claimed by Leah Bamford, beating Michelle Squires from Clockhouse 17-5, and the junior pairs title was won by Evie Mills and Essex County's Gracie Patient aftet they beat Alisha Etherington and Chloe Hearn 20-10

While all this was taking place, over at Essex County the Mens county semi finals were Underway, firstly with Steve Dunn playing in the 2 Wood Singles vs Conor Mathers from Frinton, A tight game which went back and forth but sadly just was not meant to be in the end with conor taking the win 16-15

The Other mens Semi final was in the county triples with Danny Mills, Josh Heffernan and Luke Banks, taking on Michael Coulson, Steve Gunnell and Ed Morris, A slow start from the guys saw them 2-8 down after 7 ends but they soon turned it around with a couple of big counts sending them into the last end 5 shots up, the essex county boys did not give up though holding 5 with one bowl left Luke banks produced an amazing bowl under pressure to cut the count down and send the Braintree Boys to Leamington

What a perfect day for the club (well nearly Perfect, seeing as it is steve writing this 😅)

Well done everybody 🏆🏆🏆🏆

BRAINTREE'S NATIONAL DOUBLE FOURS REACH LAST 16 🔴🟡⚫️

Well done to Braintree's National double fours A team who have made it to the last 16 in the country following victory against Sharnbrook from Bedfordshire

The game was played at the Neutral venue of Baldock bowls club in Hertfordshire , who the thank for hosting this game and what a game it turned out to be for anybody watching.

The rink of Gary Lovatt, Dave Hunt, Graham Easterbrook and Steve Dunn, got of to a slow start finding themselves 1-8 down but soon this was brought back and with 3 ends to go the Braintree team was winning 18-15, however the Sharnbrook guys played some great bowls to win the last 3 ends and win the rink 19-18

This meant the rink of Cadell Lench, Josh Heffernan, Luke Banks and Graham Thompson knew nothing less than a 2 shots win would do, having lead for most of the game they reached the final end 6 shots up, and with some great bowls only dropped 1 to win the rink 20-15, but more importantly win the match by 4 shots overall.

As mentioned before this now puts the team in the last 16 and just one more win away from a spot at the national finals, the opposition for that last 16 match will be Newmarket Avenue, and this game will be played at Radwinter Bowls Club on Sunday 9th August at 10.30am

Any support would be greatly appricated by the players.

Well done to the Braintree Ladies Albert Crabb team who have made it to the final following a 47-28 victory over south benfleet and canvey.

The Home rink of Freda Laidlaw, Danielle Gibbons, Hazel Murray and Serena Madgewick had a very tight game all the way till the end, at some stages being up on the board and other times being down but in the end a late run saw the girls win the rink 20-16

It was a different story for the away rink which was, Olive Hawkins, Katie Thompson, Evie Mills and Christina Allen, the girls got off to a flyer finding themselves 12-1 up after just 5 ends and never looked back going on to win the rink 27-12

The Final will be played on Satuday August 1st time TBC, vs Connaught Ladies, as Braintree Bowls Club are also the hosts for this years final we hope this gives the girls the lift they need to win the title for the first time since the mid 90s

Any support for the final would be fantasic and im sure greatly appricated by the girls.

NATIONAL DOUBLE FOURS TEAM REACH AREA FINAL ❗️❗️

Well Done to the National double fours team that have made it to the Essex area final following a 41-19 victory against Happy Valley

A game which started of close with both Braintree and happy valley playing some fantasic bowls, the game then turned Braintree's way in the second half as they raced to victory, however it must be said the final score does not reflect the game as a whole, with the match for large parts being a lot closer than that scoreline suggests

Well done to Happy Valley for making it this far in the comp, im sure they will be looking for revenge when the 2 sides meet again in the County Shield on Monday 6th July

As for Braintree the Area final will be against Harlow bowls club and will be played at Maldon as the neutral green on Sunday 12th July @ 10am

Good luck to the players we wish them all well, rink scores from the game as follows

Gary Lovatt, Dave Hunt, Graham Easterbrook, Steve Dunn - Won - 22 - 9

Cadell Lench, Josh Heffernan, Luke Banks, Graham Thompson - Won - 19 - 10
