On a warm Saturday afternoon the Top Team final took place at Marlborough Bowling Club/Ipswich Ladies Bowling Club between a team from Borough of Eye Bowls Club and a combined team from Felixstowe & Suffolk and Brantham Athletic Bowls Clubs. At the start the teams were equally matched, both winning on two rinks, but Borough of Eye gradually drew ahead. By the twelfth end they were winning on all four rinks, which position they held to the end.

Thanks go to the hosting clubs and to Phil Last for marking the Singles game and to Adrian Beecroft for umpiring the match.

Borough of Eye - Winners

"Winning the 2026 County Top Team was the icing on the cake for the Borough of Eye after they reached the last 32 in the country of the National Top Club.

The adrenaline continued into the final, fuelled by numerous following supporters.

Newcomer Elaine Peck proved to be an asset winning the majority of her singles games in both. The pairs decided to save their strength for the final where Nayara & Sue BB secured a comfortable win. Unbeaten throughout were Kelly, Tracy & Tracey in the triples, who proved a force to be reckoned with! Chrissy, Jules, Vicki & Sue always gel well as a four and completed the 4-0 win over Felixstowe & Suffolk / Brantham.

Marlborough were great hosts as always, with the green bowling well and the drinks flowing afterwards!

Thank you to Moira and team for a lovely match - it’s always great to bowl amongst friends."
