Spital Ladies v Little Aston Ladies.

On a beautiful warm sunny afternoon Spital played host to Little Aston Ladies in the first leg of their annual friendly match. Both teams had struggled for players but they managed to make 4 games where Spital took 3 victories and Little Aston 1. Joyce & Wendy won 10-4 against Sheila & Doreen, June & Pat 10-6 against Brenda & Maddie, Sue & Joyce 13-4 against Mary & Dot and Maureen & Lidia had a close game with Chris & Shirley losing 7-9. After the match everyone enjoyed afternoon tea in the pavilion with a lovely selection of home made cakes. The ladies look forward to the return leg later in the season.

Spital Ladies v Lichfield Museum Ladies

Spital Ladies 45 - Musuem Ladies 55

This competition is always our first away match of the ladies bowling calendar, and in the past we have enjoyed balmy summer sunshine on the lovely green in Lichfield. However, on this occasion we were obliged to wear winter warmers whilst  battling very windy cold conditions. Lichfield Ladies, competitive as ever, won three of the five games, with June Atkins and Jackie Kirk, Jackie Fox and Pat Humphreys posting winning scores for Spital.  We will endeavour to reverse the scores when we play the return match later in the season.  

Bowling Season Starts at Spital Bowls Club

Gareth Coates,  the Mayor of Tamworth, looking splendid in his chains of office,  came to take the first bowl of the season and get our first afternoon of bowling off to a fine start. The Mayor showed a great aptitude for the game, benefiting from guidance from Gents Captain Ray Vanstone and playing alongside a crowd of us regulars until teatime, when we all enjoyed a marvellous selection of homemade cakes and a very welcome cuppa.
