Ten teams competed with Chiddingly winning, Bolney second, Fletching third and Barcombe fourth.

Our first league match was away to Adastra.

The final score was Adastra 145 and Barcombe 144. We hope to reverse the result on the return match.

Our home match with Plumpton on May 11 was cancelled because of the rain.

Our new junior team is taking shape, we have seven members so far and we are competing in a couple of tournaments.

BOWLING CLUB: Two games were played last week in very contrasting weather conditions.

The first was against Ringmer last Thursday evening.

A third of the way through the game the rain changed from a drizzle to a deluge and the game was abandoned without a result.

By Saturday the weather had improved and this game was played in warm sunshine. Although Barcombe won on two of the four rinks the game was lost over all. Barcombe 69 Portslade 81.
