Inverness Waterloo Bowling Club

The East v West games, concluded yesterday at Waterloo B C.

Despite going into the final game with the East ahead on points, it was to be the West teams day! Winning 4 of the 6 rinks today and a draw in another it was enough to swing the results in the West team's favour.

East vs West challenge shield was won by the clubs on the West side or the River Ness - Glenurquhart, Planefield and The Inverness.
The Senior League Cup was won by The Inverness. Following the tea, Brian Christie I&DBA President presented the trophies, which have all headed across the river this year. Congratulations to all the winners. Not to be this time Fraser Park, Highland, St, Ninian and Waterloo - try again next year.

We had a super day, the weather in the main was kind to us - if a bit breezy at times, it was mentioned. The flag was flying... A few folk from the bowling community past and present, managed along to watch the proceedings.

Thanks to all the Waterloo members who helped with the tasks required to make the day a good one. A tight squeeze but we made it!

New club shirts get another airing… They combine well with the original design. Thanks to Iseabail for getting the job done in 2026.

Waterloo recently welcomed a couple of groups for some school holiday activities.
Local Active Schools Coordinators Susan Blackwood (Charleston Academy) and Craig Carswell (Inverness High School), the latter in partnership with Grace Wrightson from the ICT Trust with some of their sports leaders brought along some young people to experience an introduction to playing bowls. Looking forward to having the Inverness Caledonian Thistle Community Development back on the 6th August.
