Blackwood purchase a defibrillator |
Welsh air ambulance donation |
|
|
|
All donations in memory of Paul Morgan have been kindly donated to Blackwood bowls club by the family to purchase a defibrillator. Today we received the defibrillator and had some training on its safe use by the welsh cardiac association. A very worthwhile cause.

During the 2018 season, Allen Witchell was the MBA president and his chosen charity was the welsh air ambulance.
Donations were received during president matches and Tours. Once again the Blackwood members stepped up to the mark and today Allen handed over a cheque for £2430.10. Our sincere thanks to all who contributed. |
Match Reports
WBA - New Tredegar
New Tredegar are a team opn the up with many young stars in their ranks so an away fixture is a tricky proposition. Both clubs are unbeaten in the tournament and this game is realistically the group decider.
It was a close game throughout with neither team able to open up a large gap but in the end it was Blackwood who triumphed by 8 shots 80/72 with 3 winning rinks.
GBL: Bedwellty Park (FR)
Due to a break in fixtures during the WBA campaign Blackwood played Bedwellty Park in a friendly fixture. This proved to be a good decision as all bowlers had a good day both on and off the green.The match was won by Blackwood with all rinks up giving a much needed confidence boost to the GBL side.
RSVBA
We finally kicked off our RSVBA league with a home game against Rhymney Gwent. The Gwent have some quality players and the two clubs are often separated by just a shot or two. This match proved to be the same with Blackwood running out winners by just 4 shots 63/59 with the points being 11 - 3 with Davids rink being held to a 13 all draw. Winning rinks came by way of Trevor's and Clive's rinks.
