The annual competition between the ladies and men - The Armstrong Trophy - was played on Saturday 31st August.   

Weather was good except for a very strong wind.     

Well done to the ladies for winning the triples and condolences to the other ladies teams (singles, pairs & rinks) who lost - especially to the rinks team who only lost on the last end by one shot.     Everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon.
​
Thanks to Elizabeth French for providing the refreshments and the other ladies who helped with the teas.

Congratulations to the C&S1 ladies team who have secured the Division 1 title for the second year in a row (2018 & 2019).  Many, many thanks to those ladies who "stood in" at short notice to play for the team (including a retiree!).    The main team was depleted due to injuries (broken ankles) to 2 main players in the last month of the season - fortunately both are now well on the road to recovery.
​
The final table indicates that Ponteland finished 12 points ahead of their nearest rivals, Burradon.​  

WELL DONE everyone.

Our senior ladies fours team have been very successful this year.  In the final rounds of the county knock out event, they beat Benfield in the semi finals and then Whitley and Monkseaton in the finals. They will now go on to represent Northumberland in the national finals at Leamington Spar later in August.  We wish them all well when they go to play.

The final was played at Gosforth Bowling Club on a very hot and sunny day.

The Ladies' County Presidents annual charity day was held at Alnwick on Sunday 4th July 2021.  The "theme" this year was ORANGE! 

​6 of Ponteland lady members attended the event.

​​Ponteland ‘workies’ taking well earned tea breaks, before, during and after the fundraising  event. During the day they were called upon to fix traffic lights and control traffic. They were also offered future employment, which they are still considering!
