Last week saw the League season get under way with the Men's 1st team travelling to Waterside on Tuesday. The Ladies hosted Iford Bridge on Thursday afternoon and the Men's 'A' team also played at home, against Fordingbridge 'B', in the evening.
All the above teams came away with good wins, getting the League season off to a great start.
Unfortunately, this trend did not continue in the B&DBA Saturday matches, which were all lost, as can be seen below.

Michael, his daughter Julia and Breta's Daughter Paula have asked me to express their thanks and gratitude to those members of both Ringwood and Verwood Bowling Clubs, who attended Breta's funeral last week.
They were very pleased that so many members were able to support the family in saying their last farewells to Breta, by being with them on the day.
Michael also thanks all of the members of both clubs for their friendliness and companionship, shown to him and Breta throughout the years.
Our deep condolences, thoughts and best wishes go out to Michael, family and friends.
Breta will be sorely missed by our members.

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Breta Miller passed away peacefully last week. Breta had been poorly for some time and last season could only manage short roll up's with Michael, weekly, on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Breta and Michael have been playing bowls at Ringwood for some 18 years and Breta was very active playing in league teams, friendlies and competitions. She also played Short Mat at Verwood and also enjoyed and was very good at Ballroom and Country & Western Dancing.
Breta's funeral will take place at 11.00am on Friday 11th February at Bournemouth Crematorium.
All are welcome to attend the funeral but please, NO Suits and Black Ties, just casual dress or club shirts.
There will be no wake and it is family only after the funeral.
Our deep condolences, thoughts and best wishes go out to Michael, his family and friends.
Breta will be sorely missed by our members.
Presentation Night Back At The
https://www.ringwoodbowlingclub.co.uk/news?start=128#sigProId4cf7a97b4d
After a few years away at the Ringwood Conservative Club a good turnout of 52 members had a very enjoyable time, on Friday evening, at the Elm Tree Public House.
Picture quizzes were puzzled over during the 2 course meal of either Fish & Chips, Pie & Mash or Veggie Quiche, followed by either Belgian Waffle or Crumble & Custard.
Presentation of this years Trophies, by our President Frank Senior and Competition Secretary Doug Jones, took place between the traditional entertainment of the Main Quiz, Card Bingo, Higher or Lower and the Music Quiz. The entertainment drew to a close , at the end of the evening, with the draw for the well stocked raffle prizes.
You can view the gallery of Trophy recipients by clicking on the picture above.
