Batchwood Hall Bowling Club are through to the semi-finals with one game in hand.

The men's team played their district triples match against Townsend on Friday.

Joshua David, Eddy Clark, and Mark Trembling led the home team to a 17–9 victory, while John Bell, John Turkentine, and Brian Parkes secured a 17–15 win for the away team.

However, it wasn't all good news for the Batchwood men this week.

They went up against Potters Bar at home in the semi-final of the Bob Vise Trophy at the weekend.

The semi-final didn't go Batchwood's way, with Potters Bar winning in all four disciplines.

They will play at the St Albans & District Final on August 31 at Potters Bar Bowls Club.

Batchwood ladies played in the County League and came third in their division of six teams.

They managed this despite having fewer players available this year.

A mixed triples match was also played away at Hertford Castle, with Batchwood winning by six shots.

The winning rink consisted of Rosemary McDonagh, Jackie Bell, and skip Sue Swain.

Batchwood Hall Bowling Club was founded in 1966, and one of its founding members, Noel Godman, is still a member today.
