Match Report – Purley Bury BC 8July22
It was a pleasure to support the BBA at my Club on what turned out to be a rather hot afternoon. Thankfully, the bar remained open throughout the afternoon, for a wide selection of drinks. The green looked well maintained and we hoped for a keenly contested game. Sadly, the game did not turn out […]
Match Report – Horsham BC – 1July22
Horsham welcomed us on a beautiful day to their very quick green for a match contested over 5 rinks. Catering is always good at Horsham and the food before the game was up to the usual high standard. The match score was even from the start and BBA often had a narrow lead but that […]
Match Report – Purley BC – 15 June 2022
On a very hot afternoon we were warmly welcomed by Purley – it was a very sensible idea to reduce the number of ends to be played to 18. BBA had a bowler making his debut for us, Peter Humphrey, who played against us at Bromley IBC – welcome Peter. The match was closely contested […]
Match Report – Denton Island IBC – 28 February 2022
The organisers at Denton Island, Christine, Kim and Tina did a great job for us with the catering.

Match Report Bromley IBC
Flushed with the euphoria of the previous week’s first win of the Indoor season, players arrived with the intention of continuing this running streak and it was good to see we turned out another six-rink team – (well done Mark!!)

Match Report – Sutton IBC
This has been the first game this year where we have fielded the entire 6 rinks that had been planned. Well done BBA and Sutton for this. We were made very welcome at Sutton and the game was contested in a good atmosphere and was very competitive. For the most part there was very little […]
Match Report – Royal Bank of Scotland
After a run of five defeats, we were keen to round off the Outdoor season with a good win. It was a sunny afternoon, the opposition greeted us in a friendly manner and all was well until a pneumatic hole digger started up, just the other side of the hedge – but that did not […]
