We had a fantastic weekend at the Championships in Skien, and our thanks to BowlsNorway for making us feel most welcome.
As a nation we finished 10th out of 12 teams, which is pretty good for our first attempt.

We'd like to congratulate the singles, pairs & triples winners from ESMBA England Team and the fours winners from Welsh Short Mat Bowls.

Work now starts on preparation for Canada in 2028.
