This year, Hoddesdon Bowls Club (Rosehill) travelled to Rye Park for our much-anticipated annual match between the two Hoddesdon clubs, competing for the Rosehill and Rosebowl trophies. Both the men’s and ladies’ teams took part, making it another great day of friendly competition and local camaraderie.

The match is always seen as our very own “local derby,” full of good spirit, laughter, and a touch of rivalry that makes the day special for everyone involved. This year, Rye Park came out on top — congratulations to them on a well-earned win!

A big thank you to all who played, supported, and helped make the day such a success. We’re already looking forward to next year’s rematch!
