Congratulations to Robert Paxton for reaching the final of the World Indoor Bowls Championships, and what a way to do it! If you missed it, check out Robs last bowl of the game to win it!

Congrats to Nicole on a superb performance in the World Bowls at Potters semi final. Although losing in the third end of the tie break she was outstanding and how the very last bowl of the match didn't earn her a place in the final is something that beggars belief. If you didn't see it catch the game on You Tube or the BBC I player.
Nicole you did Exonia proud well done!!

Congratulations to our national top club team for reaching the semi-finals!!🥳
