St John’s has been playing in the South Pembrokeshire
Short Mat Bowls Friendly League since 2002, playing
against village teams throughout the south of the
county.
The club has been very successful over the last seven
years. These are our positions in the league over this
period:
2002-3: 5th
2003-4: 2nd
2004-5: 1st
2005-6: 1st
2006-7: 1st
2008-9: 2nd
For a team in their seventh year to have won the South
Pembrokeshire Short Mat League three times and come
second twice is an excellent achievement and we are
fortunate to have a lovely hall with fantastic
facilities where we practice each week.
There is a very sociable aspect to the club. For
example, over the past six years we have been on
enjoyable bowling holidays to Bodelwyddan, the Isle of
Wight, Torquay and the Forest of Dean. On these holidays
we take part in competitions with members of Short Mat
Bowls clubs from all over the UK. We have functions at
Christmas in our own club and join with the rest of the
league in the Annual Dinner and Presentation evening at
the end of the season. |
