16 Meersbrook Park Bowling Club members defied the terrible rain (on Saturday 22nd July) to benefit from another free coaching session, delivered by Steve Hawksworth, from South Yorkshire County Crown Green Bowling Association (SYCCGBA).

Steve came over from Penistone and voluntarily delivered the session which was focused on length bowling and built on previous coaching sessions on bowling basics and bowling line.

The session finished with 8 pairs playing ends on the green which not only allowed the trainees to put their learning into practice but gave everybody valuable experience and insight into the etiquette and realities of sharing the green with multiple other players.

Despite the awful weather the session was very well received.

A competition had been planned after the session but was postponed due to the weather and the worsening condition of the green.

However, an 8 players tournament was held on Monday evening as their was no Social League match this week.
