Welcome to your new-look Haywards Heath & Beech Hurst website

New season; new look… and new faces in key places.

Take a look at what’s new.

This website is for you, the club's members - and for people interested in bowls or who would like to find out more.

Our NST team enjoy a meal with Henfield A after their draw on May 18

All tied up

It's not the rarest event in the world, but we've just drawn three matches in 15 days - including two in a row.

That's three in our last seven completed games (there's an abandonment and postponement in there, too!).

The latest came on May 18, in our first Nicholas Soames Trophy match of the season, which ended in a 45-45 draw.

Curiously, that's precisely the same score as we achieved in our previous game, against Southwater.

Less than two weeks earlier, we drew at Felbridge - this time 46-46.

If nothing else, this illustrates the value of fighting to the end and trying to narrow the scoreline even if we are losing. Those draws would have been defeats if some of our trailing groups had scored just one shot fewer.

Come and watch your team-mates

As well as our friendlies, league matches and internal competitions, some of our members are participating in external contests.

On Friday, May 29 three such matches are scheduled.

Reigning Ladies champion Linda takes on Caren Stoffberg, of Southgate Park, at midday in the Champion of Champions competition..

Then at 2pm Mark Gooch, the Men's champ, faces Popes Mead's Paul Leare in the men's version.

At 6pm we are due to host Burgess Hill A in the Sussex County Bowls Men's Senior Fours Championship.

*On Tuesday, a ladies' four, comprising Nicola, Jill Hatfield, Fiona and Marge lost 9-29 in the first round of the Gladys Rowland Cup in the rain on Portslade's artificial surface.

All external team competition fixtures and results can be found on our Fixtures and Results sub-menu - External Competitions.
