Posted on Sat, 05 May 2012
In preparation for the 2012 Johns Trophy Championship, Bowls Wiltshire Ladies will be taking on the Mens South Western Counties side at Amesbury B.C on Sunday 13th May. Johns Trophy team manager Rose Adlam will be hoping that the game will give the Ladies team not only a good idea of who will make the final 24, but also good competitive practice for the forthcoming group stage match against Somerset on 2nd June.
Meanwhile the Mens South Western Counties team manager Denis Holborow will be hoping for much the same for his side ahead of their first match against Bowls Dorset on June 3rd.

Posted on Sat, 16 Jul 2011
Wiltshire Ladies have named an unchanged team for the Walker Cup regional finals at Weston-Super-Mare’s Clarence Bowls Club this Sunday (July 17, 10am). The selectors have chosen the same eight players and two rinks that knocked out holders Devon 41-28 in the previous round.
Ladies Stun Walker Cup Holders Devon
Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2011
Wiltshire Ladies produced the outstanding performance of all the counties in the first round of the Walker Cup, the national inter-county double rink competition. They were in superb form at Street as they caused a major shock by knocking out the holders Devon, fielding six of their 2010 winning side, 41-28.
Rink honours were shared at one-all but the massive 29-6 victory recorded by the rink of Alison Fail, Janice Bull, Janet Hardie and skip Alex Jacobs over England international Liz Smerdon easily compensated for the 10-shot loss by Janet Willis’ quartet. Across the board Wiltshire trailed 9-5 at five ends but then thanks to Jacobs’ rink they moved 16-12 up at ten ends and just cruised away to a 13 shot success.

Wiltshire Ladies produced a spirited performance but just missed-out at Yeovil to Somerset losing by five shots in the first round of the Johns Trophy inter-county championship.
The match against last year’s beaten finalists was tight throughout. Wiltshire led 26-20 across the board after five ends but trailed 47-49 at ten. They had pulled back to tie affairs at 73-73 at 15 ends. However, over the final stretch Somerset just edged away to a narrow victory.
Ladies Johns Trophy Team v Somerset
Posted on Sun, 29 May 2011
The selection team of Val Fitzgerald, Sue Baker and Rose Adlam have released the team selected to play in the first round of the Ladies Johns Trophy Championship, against Somerset W.C.B.A at Yeovil B.C on Tuesday 14th June.
The team will be facing a strong Somerset side, who were narrowly defeated in the 2010 Johns Trophy Final by a single shot, against Hertfordshire.
However, the Wiltshire team will be hoping to produce a win against their close county rivals and progress onto the second round against potential opponents Gloucestershire or Worcestershire.
Bowls Wiltshire Ladies To Face Somerset In Johns Trophy Opener
Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2011
The Ladies Johns Trophy team will face 2010 finalists Somerset in the first round of the 2011 Johns Trophy Championship on Tuesday 14th June at Yeovil B.C. Somerset were defeated by one shot in the 2010 Johns Trophy Final against Hertfordshire, held at Royal Leamington Spa, and will surely be a tough opening round match for the Wiltshire Ladies.
However, a win for Wiltshire would definitely fill the side with confidence ahead of a potential second round tie.....
