BALCOMBE TROPHY 2022
On Sunday, 17th July Wellingborough BC will be hosting the Bowls England Regional Finals of the Balcombe Trophy, which is an Inter County Double Rinks Competition for Men. About 85 clubs applied to host a Regional Final and we have been allocated the Balcombe Trophy. There will be 32 bowlers from four counties, plus their supporters.
