What a fantastic way to finish the season! 🟢🔴

Atherley Bowls & Social Club are the Southampton & District Bowling Association Division 1 Champions! 🏆

After a tremendous late-season charge, winning our final three league matches, Atherley managed to overhaul Eastleigh Railway, who had led the league throughout the season.

It all came down to a huge final match at Atherley on Thursday 13th August, with Atherley facing Eastleigh Railway at home.

And what a performance from the team! 👏

🎯 ATHERLEY 6 – 0 EASTLEIGH RAILWAY

A convincing victory secured the points we needed and confirmed Atherley as Division 1 League Champions! 🏆🥇

It was brilliant to see so many members, friends and supporters come along to watch what was a great evening of bowls. Afterwards, everyone headed into the clubhouse to celebrate with the team and mark a fantastic achievement. 🍻🥂🎉

A huge congratulations to every player who has represented Atherley throughout the season. Winning a league is very much a team effort, and the determination shown over those final few matches was outstanding.

And a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported the team from the sidelines throughout the season. ❤️💚
