COMPLETION OF THE G&F LEAGUES 2021
The Gosport and Fareham fixtures for all of the Lockswood teams are now complete for 2021. This year only half a season was played and although there were points to be won, it was played for this season only, as a "friendly" competition.
The season was not so good for three of our teams this year.
The Reds and Golds in Division One finished in the lower half of the table with the Golds finishing four points above the Reds.
The Greens unfortunately finished in last place. Captains found it difficult this year to get enough players to field their teams, so hopefully next season we will improve.
However, by contrast, the Silvers did extremely well. They finished in third place with 36 points behind Portchester Silver and Fareham White.
Congratulations to Rod Maxted and his team.

What Was In The Box?
Answer.......A BEES' NEST!
Earlier in the year, some members of the club became aware of much bee activity in and around the Bird Box to the left of the back border of the garden.
So, today, John Windust took the Bird Box down and retrieved this bees' nest which was abandoned. By leaving them be! we have the chance to see the result of their labours.
What a lot of hard work by those busy bees!
John replaced the old Bird Box with a brand new one he had made. Thank you John,
Will we get Birds or Bees next year?
Below.......
Bob, Rod, John Sherrington and Ozzy, still working hard to look after our green and lovely gardens, for the benefit of members and visitors.

Final League Positions for the Men's Leagues.
A pretty good season for the our Men's Leagues on their return to a Summer Season of Bowling.
The Championship ....Finished in third position just behind Brockenhurst, with Eastleigh Rail finishing top. Unfortunately, Lockswood just missed out on promotion by 1.5 points. So, hopefully, next year will see them even higher. Well done lads!
The Combination .... Had a more mixed season but finished fourth in the top half of the table behind Pirrie Park "A", Meon Valley "A" and BTC. Good luck for next season boys.
The Combination Triples .... Had a very good season finishing as Runners - Up to Banister Park "C". Next year, you will surely top the Table!
Well done to all our Men's Teams for the 2021 Season!
