League Positions

In the Bucks Single Mat League, Amersham are top of the Blue Division and Chinnor top of the Red Division.

The play off to decide the overall winner will take place on Thursday 27th March at the club house of Wendover and Chiltern Bowls Club.

Thanks go to Wendover for hosting this event and good luck to both teams.

Supporters will be welcome to cheer on both teams. It should be a good game to watch.

Meanwhile, in the Vale Short Mat Bowls Friendly League, John Robinson Memorial Cup Competition, Marsh Gibbon won their division and Chinnor still have one game to play against Beacon. Irrespective of the winner of that game, the final will be played at Wing Sports and Social Club on Monday 14th April. Spectators will be welcome and the bar will be open. Please come along and support both teams.

In the Vale League, there are still some games to be played with Chinnor currently top of the table with 101 points, with Marsh Gibbon and Beacon taking the next two places. Good luck to all.

On Tuesday 22nd April at 7.00 p.m., the Vale League presentation evening is being held at Haddenham Village Hall and all participating teams will be invited to take part. The evening usually consists of several short, sharp triples games with plenty of good natured banter, a raffle, tea and cake and of course, the presentation of the League Trophies.


In May, the Single Mat Summer League starts. At the moment there are just 5 teams entered but there is room for more. Continue to watch this space for all the up to date results right through the year.

BSMBA  -  AGM

The Annual General Meeting of the Bucks Short Mat Bowling Association will be held at Wendover and Chiltern Bowls Club on Wednesday 7th May at 7.30 p.m.

This will be a crucial meeting as the future of the BSMBA will be decided at this time. The current committee will be standing down and unless replacement officers come forward, there will be no choice but to wind up the Association. If you want to see the BSMBA continue then you will need to put yourself forward for any of the following vacant positions.

Chair, Secretary, Treasurer or committee member.

If you would like to be considered for any of the above positions, send your details by email to:


Bucks.shortmat.bowls@gmail.com


In the event of the BSMBA being wound up, this website will only continue for the remaining length of the hosting contract. The name will change to reflect any decisions made at the AGM but the league results and any relevant club data will continue to be published. It is in the interest of all clubs and their members to support this site by sending any interesting news items or match results to the above email address and every effort will be made to ensure your information appears on this site.
