Y Ddraig Goch

Y Ddriag Goch, Tenpin Bowling team, was formed in 1999 by Tony Westren and Martyn Blandford.

Bowling as a 4's team at Hollywood Bowl Bristol for 2 years, and then for 2 years at Bowlplex Longwell Green. Team members included Robert & Joy Forgan, Viv Batchelor, & Angela Bagely.

 

The team moved to Dolphin Bowl, Weston-Super-Mare in 2003 and bowled as a doubles team. 

The team consisting of Tony, Angela, Viv and Martyn, are the current Wessex and Dolphin Doubles League Champions.

Tony has represented Wales and will do so again this year. We have all Bowled for County teams.

 

Tournaments:

Apart from leagues, the team enjoys tournaments and touring. In 2001 YDG did USA. (See photos.)

A regular tour destination is the Isle of White Open, held in May, which we have bowled since 2001. More recently we have also contested the September Doubles. ('Cashing', in our first year 2003, and winning the event in 2004.)

We plan to take our biggest ever squad of 18 bowlers to the Isle of White open, in May this year.

A five man team will be at the BTBA nationals in Coventry, in March.

Tournaments are arranged by Tony Westren during the year at Dolphin Bowl. 

 

Our Aim:

Our aim is to enjoy our Bowling. Its nice to win, but its not at 'all costs'. We've made some good friends through bowling over the years and hope make many more.
