Could you emulate one of these illustrious Warwick & Worcester bowlers and pick up our local or even national merits titles in 2022.

Along with the 5 merit competitions we ran on a restricted basis last season, the Men's, Ladies, Juniors, Veterans & Mixed Pairs, we are returning this season with a further 4 merit competitions, including a brand new one introduced by the BCGBA for those players aged 18-25 who missed out on junior merit opportunities due to COVID as well as Mens, Ladies and Junior Pairs competitions.

Warwick & Worcester have also returned to the Midland Masters fold for 2022. We will have a qualifying night on Friday 22nd July, where 11 of our bowlers will qualify for the Final which is at Penn Fields Bowling Club, Wolverhampton on Sunday September 11th. The competition is open to both Men and women and this year the finals do not clash with the Ladies County events. Whilst there is no local prize money for this competition, your entry fee goes towards the National final and the winner of that will receive a place in the Champion of Champions.

JUNIOR MERIT

Open to male and female players who have not reached the age of 18 as of 1st January 2022.
