Resolven’s Latest International Bowler

Welsh International Cap No.42

The name change of the Governing body of bowls in Wales to ‘Welsh Lawn Bowls’ was only a couple of years ago so the number of new ‘Caps’ since the change has been few.
Resolven Bowls Club’s Stephen (Steve) Allen has just completed playing in his first Outdoor International Series at Llandrindod Wells against International teams from England, Scotland, Ireland and Jersey

The playing surface and condition of the Resolven bowling green has been the envy of many South Wales clubs due to work carried out by volunteers with the cooperation of the Resolven Community Council.

RBC continues to be blessed with very good bowlers and in previous years Andrew Hopkins, RBC Chair has been an Indoor and Outdoor Bowls International player with Simon Williams and Richard Ace being involved also.

Many of the International bowlers who were at Llandrindod Wells representing Wales will be visiting Resolven Bowling Green on the 3rd of August to participate in a Tournament to celebrate the 93rd Birthday of Resolven Bowls Club.

The above photograph showing many interested spectators, was taken at last year’s RBC Tournament
