The club meets for practice on Monday evenings at 7.30 pm in Cockfield Village Hall where we use two mats and also play our home league matches. We also host a social bowling afternoon on Thursday afternoons (2pm until 4/4.30pm) at the village hall. Thursday afternoon is chance for anyone to play, whatever standard, in a social atmosphere with no competitive pressures.
We play in the Bury and Suffolk Leagues, during the winter and also play in the Summer League.
Although quite competitive, carpet bowls is a very sociable sport which enables us to visit most villages in the county and enjoy the “after bowls” provided by the host club. Many tournaments are run throughout the year, mostly in aid of charities, and Cockfield is usually represented.
We are members of the Suffolk Carpet Bowls Association
Cockfield “in action” at home.
Each year we host the Cockfield Invitation Fours Tournament in the village hall and use the day to raise funds to make a donation to a local charity.
We are always keen to welcome new members, whether experienced or new to the sport. You can contact us at chris.ford15@gmail.com
News
We are all really proud of our members (Sue Davey, Colin Fellingham and Peter Fellingham) who represent Suffolk County. At the National Championships, in early December 2024, Suffolk won the North v South game against Durham and then won the overall National Championship in a close weekend’s bowling. Well done Team!
17 Feb – We hosted Hundon in a Suffolk League match. In the first half Cockfield won both their games and at half-time were 6 – 0 up. The second half was tighter, with both games going down to the final end. Hundon won one game and the other was drawn. Our wins in the first half gave us the shot count and the result was 7 – 3 to Cockfield.
