Hello people of Coventry. So it's been a busy couple of weeks here at Jaguar Bowls Club Coventry with a couple of away friendly games to navigate. But this week, my I have to say it's good to be back home. So this past Tuesday the Men had their first Monday Night League game, a Knockout Cup match against our friends from Stoke Phoenix, close game but alas we couldn't quite get the result we were hoping for, but well done all for perseverance and determined play in quite chilly weather. One of our members is also in National action today playing in the prestigious Champion of Champions, Chris Buchanan, we are so very proud of you. While Chris is off representing the Jag in the Champion of Champion game, the rest of us played a friendly against more of our friends from another club, Corley. Again another close game played in tremendous spirit, and the weather was really good too. The green was amazing to play on, even if my game was a bit off πππ. So thanks go to the crew led by Martin Roberts who do an amazing job every week to keep us playing on a great surface. Also thanks go to Chris Smitten and John Wale for selecting teams. Thanks also go to Emma Pensomsmih for the amazing photos that really do show our fantastic sport and awesome people in a great way. And to all the ladies that do the food every home game, you all do amazing work so a massive thank you to you all. This week lots going on with more games on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday away to Corley. Also work continues to make our green and surrounds the best we can and I think the team do a grand job.
If these photos wet your appetite for more information or even to give our grand sport a go, drop a comment and more info will be provided. I'm biased, (a little bowls joke πππ) but I truly believe that this is the best sport in the world. Easy to play, and the social side is second to none.
Hope to hear from some of you soon
