CHALFONT St Giles Bowls Club’s ladies may have bowed out of the national EWBA fours competition to Marlowe, but will take great heart from a 21-15 defeat.

GERRARDS Cross Bowls Club’s women beat Flackwell Heath 78-46 at home in a Triples match, with the best rink score coming from Shirley Murrell, Joyce Ludford and Margery Kennedy.
