Eastbourne & District Indoor Bowls Club achieve a memorable victory

The ladies of Eastbourne & District Indoor Bowls Club achieved a memorable victory over Palmerston 77-63 in the Regional final of the National Vivienne Trophy to qualify for the first time ever for the National Final in Nottingham on Thursday 17th April where they will meet Malvern Hills IBC. A fantastic achievement and with a coachload of supporters to cheer them on in Nottingham have every chance of bringing home the trophy to Sussex.

In the County League ( East Division ) the men gained victory over Egerton Park 99 ( 5pts) 81 ( 2 pts ) and barring a major mishap against Falaise this coming weekend will qualify for the final play off against the winners of the West Division and attempt to become overall Sussex County Champions for the fourth consecutive year.
