Disability Bowls England’s first Inter Club Triples has been hailed “A great success”.
The event held at 5 different venues on the same day brought together a huge number of players with disability and has helped clubs appreciate that they have players who may need a little assistance but fully able to compete and be inclusive in a club environment.
Such was the enthusiasm that teams around the country have shown interest in forming leagues to regularly compete with and against players with a disability.
