Latest news from Cheriton Bowls Club and Sandwich Bowls Club

There was a different look to the Wilmoths Citroen Trophy at Cheriton Bowls Club on Sunday.

Normally teams from around south east Kent would compete in the competition but this year, due to Covid restrictions, it was played as an in-house competition with 10 teams of pairs.
