Men's Top Club v Old Coulsdon 18th May 2026

After a successful run to the semi-final in this Bowls England competition last season, Bookham men started well again this year when they faced a home match against a highly-regarded team from Old Coulsdon.

There were rain showers during the day but we were pleased that it became dry for the start of the match at 6 pm and it remained so for the whole evening – albeit with a cool wind and deteriorating light by the end.

Involving 5 disciplines – 2 Wood & 4 Wood singles, Pairs, Triples and Rink – Bookham won 4-1, only losing the 2 Woods singles game but with close and highly competitive games for our Triples and Rink team bowlers.

The star of the show was our youngest club member – Kam Sedgwick – who bowled extremely well to beat the Old Coulsdon Club champion in the 4 Wood singles.

Well done to the men and it was hopefully an enjoyable evening also for those who came along to watch and support us.
