The 2020 Challenge Cup Competitions

The Challenge Cup rises from the wreckage of the Coronavirus hit 2020 Bowling; a season that never got started.

What is the Challenge Cup?  The Cup replaces the normal club competitions that had to be cancelled due to the lockdown imposed by the threat of the Coronavirus. Recent relaxations of the lockdown rules by the Government and Bowls England have enabled the Challenge Cup to be devised.

What is the format? There will be seven competitions for the men including the Open Singles, the Handicap, the (7-12) Handicap, the Pairs, the Triples, the Open Two Wood and the Open Mixed Pairs. The ladies have been included in the Triples, the Two Wood and the Mixed Pairs (obviously!)

When will the Challenge Cup start? The 8th July.

Where can I see the draws and results for the Competitions? Here on the OCBC website. Key ‘Outdoor’, then '2020 Challenge Cup'. Here you will see the draw for each competition, the rules, the handicaps and the Covid-19 guidance notes. Who will be my opponent? 

The draw and progress of the competitions will be available in a clubhouse window and on the OCBC website.

How do I book a competition game? Competition games are booked through Richard Hayward in the same way as a roll up. His telephone number is 01306 880137. 

Can I come to watch competitions? Current restrictions have been relaxed a little. From Tuesday drinks will be available and spectators will be allowed under the control of Terry Lovell.
