LATEST NEWS

WBA
17/5/25:  Bedwellty Park (Home)
Bedwellty park came to us having had an emphatic win against us on Wednesday in the RSVBA. Blackwood were a much different preposition today with a full 1st team out. Blackwood started fast when after 5 ends we were 17 shots up and at the half way stage were 28 shots up. Although BP rallied a little on two rinks the result was never in doubt with Blackwood run out eventual winners 93/59 thanks to a massive 36/8 win by Jensen Davies, Brian Keeling, Dale Hutchersen and William Ford. 
GBL (3)
17/5/25  Pontymister Ath (away)
The GBL are finding it tough in division 1 and an away trip to Pontymister was a difficult ask. One rink won and so would another if it wasnt for a 5 shot loss on the last end. Blackwood's only winning rink was Paul bather, Chris Sanders, Dave Hammond and John Meek
GBL 2
17/5/25:  anteg house (away)
Blackwood were in the unfortunate position of only fielding 6 players so had to lose 25% of their shots. This coupled with some 1st year bowlers in the side meant that the odds were stacked against us. Both rinks went down and we lost 49/15.  However, the day was enjoyed by all and the experience was invaluable.
RSVBA
7/5/25: Bedwas and trethomas.
The trip to bedwas is always a close affair with the home side normally coming out on top. In fact the game was0 very close with 3 Blackwood rinks losing by just 1 shot but the top rink of Dave Gibbons, Neil Russell, Paul Thomas and Nigel Hurley won by 5 shots handing Blackwood the victory and 8 points.
RVBA
7/5/25: Blackwood entertained Ystrad Mynach B this evening. Ystrad arrived with a mixed side of men, ladies and children. In fact Blackwood were always too strong running away emphatic 101/31 winners. Top rink winning 26/3 were K. Meek, Gill Hayward, Colin Eaketts and Clive Jenkins.

About us.
Situated in the Sirhowy valley in South Wales, Blackwood Bowls Club is a long established club with a tradition of playing a high quality competitive standard of outdoor lawn green bowls.
At Blackwood we run two teams, each playing on a Saturday and another team required for a Wednesday. We are always looking to recruit members of all standards from total beginners to seasoned campaigners.
Blackwood is a nice place to play bowls, our facility is secluded with plenty of parking and we have a new club house of which we are all very proud. We have regular functions such as BBQ nights, themed nights and Karaoke.
There is an annual club tour and various trips throughout the season for friendly games and away days.
At Blackwood there is also a strong ladies section. Blackwood ladies organise functions and fun days and are always full of ideas for fund raising for good causes.

Both the men's and ladies sections welcome you.
