Benllech BC hosts Wales v Yorkshire

Bowling News

Bob Haigh is an avid bowler and dog-walker and he likes to spend time in Wales walking the many routes, with beautiful views, up and down to place names he can never pronounce. Last week he was spending a few days in Benllech in Angelsey and he always takes a camera with him to take any shots of places that take his interest. Last week he came across the bowling green shown above which is also reproduced on our homepage. This was a well situated bowling green with stupendous views over Red Wharf Bay.

It was only on his return home when Bob read the HuddWeb preview of the Mens' County Championship match of Wales v Yorkshire that he realised he had been viewing the very green that the Yorkshire team would be playing on this coming Sunday.

Bob had spent some time talking with the Benllech greenkeeper who seemed to take up daily residence in the clubhouse where the kettle was always on the boil and the toaster was always fully occupied. Although Bob didn't learn anything of the impending Sunday County match against Yorkshire, he did learn a bit of history about the green.

According to the greenkeeper, the club claims that the green has the highest crown in the country. Whether that means the highest green in Wales or England and Wales, or even if it means the highest crown on a green, is all a little unclear. Keep walking Bob.
