Billingshurst make it three out of three

Billingshurst 71 Ewhurst 68 

Billingshurst v Southgate Parl

In their first home game of the 2025 season, Billingshurst hosted Ewhurst to their green. With two debutants playing for the home side, Paul and Garth there had, had to be have been a few nerves around prior to the game beginning. 

After Vice-Captain, Alan K. gave a warm welcome to the visitors play began. At the halfway point it was the Ewhurst side that were ahead by some three shots. However, with a seven and a six, Billingshurst made a strong comeback ultimately turning it around and securing a win by three shots.

Billingshurst Bowlers travelled to Lindfield to play their second match of three of the week. A new fixture on the calendar for both clubs. Vice-Captain Alan Knight led the away side to a close victory, and although losing on three of the four rinks still secured a victory. 

Finally, playing their biannual home game against Southgate Park of Crawley on Sunday, the Billingshurst Bowlers were looking to make it three out of three wins. This did not look very likely as the away side had an eight-shot lead after just six ends. 

However, this was short-lived as the home side pushed ahead after the break winning across all three rinks winning 72--34.
