Friendlies
In addition to our teams, the Club also plays friendly matches (both home and away) with a selection of other bowling clubs largely from the wider area: matches are fixed well in advance and calls for participation extend right across the Club, with sign-up available in the Clubhouse.
Bowlers of all abilities and experience are welcome to play in the friendlies; but joining in is a good way for new bowlers to taste match competition in a relaxed, friendly (it does what it says on the tin!) and relatively non-competitive environment.
The friendlies that have been arranged for 2025 are now confirmed and are as follows.
Sun 11 May, 2.30: Hungerford v Andover (5MT)
Sun 18 May, 2.30: Kintbury v Andover (4MT)
Sign-up for both the above fixtures is now open in the Clubhouse: members wanting to play should add their names to the list pinned up in the usual place. If you're not going to be in Andover or near the Clubhouse, no problem - just let the Website Manager know and I'll ensure your name is added to the list.in due course.
Sun 22 Jun, 3.00: Andover v Newbury (4MT)
Wed 25 Jun County friendly (Hants and Wilts Ladies)
Sun 27 Jul, 2.30: St. Mary Bourne v Andover (6MT)
Sun 17 Aug, 2.00 Andover v Devizes (6MT)
Sun 14 Sep 2.00 Andover v Parkside (4MT)
The Parkside friendly is the traditional end of season closure, giving members one last chance to play the green before it closes for the winter maintenance programme.
