Marden Bowls Club

On Sunday 30th August, Marden Bowls Club hosted the Maidstone & District finals. The weather was kind in the morning and early afternoon, but sadly it turned very wet for the final game sessions. A good crowd of supporters were in attendance throughout the day and witnessed some great bowls. Food & Beverages were enjoyed throughout!

Success for Marden once again!

Singles 

Paul Hutson played superbly to win 21-16 against Andy Tree from Bearsted in the Singles. Well done Paul!

Fours 

Paul Hutson, Peter Collins, Rob Thew and Michael Doorey ran out comfortable winners against Maidstone in the M&D fours. Congratulations!

Bert Wright

Last but not least, our triples fought valiantly in the Bert Wright Cup but sadly lost to Bearsted by one shot on the extra end. Great effort Roy, John, George, Mick, Peter and Colin.

A big thank you to all the helpers throughout the day.

Marden has won the Maidstone & District 4’s League title for the second successive year. There is one more game to be played; however, there are insufficient points available to alter the league position.

A fantastic result given the recent hot weather and the challenge that we have all faced with local greens being difficult to maintain. We should feel particularly proud of the achievements of our own green maintenance team over the last few weeks. Marden BC has recently been chosen to host a number of important and prestigious matches, further proof of the wonderful work carried out this season.

Thank you and well done to all those members who played their part throughout the season

What a fantastic season for Marden Bowls Club! We are absolutely thrilled to announce a brace of league wins for our teams in the Maidstone & District Friday Night League.

• Marden A – 🏆 Division 1 Champions: After a heartbreakingly close loss on shot difference last year, the team came back stronger than ever to decisively claim the top spot this season!
• Marden B – 🏆 Division 3 Champions: Talk about a comeback! After a tough previous season and sitting at the bottom of the table after the first three games, the team showed incredible resilience by bouncing back to win the title in 2026.

A massive congratulations to all the players involved—your hard work and team spirit truly paid off this season.

Huge congratulations to Michael Doorey, who had a fantastic run in the county singles this year!

Michael made it to county singles quarter final before falling just short, losing 21-17 to Danny Smith from Halls.

Highlights include two exceptional wins in the Divisional semi final and final, over Harry Goodwin and Lewis King.

Last Time out Paul Hutson’s pockets were ‘heavy with coin’ at the end of the evening, whereas Sharon Lander stayed loyal to horse number 4 but did eventually win a race!! We are holding another event in August. Last year it was well supported and raised much-needed funds for the club and it was a chance to gather socially. It was a very enjoyable evening, this event will be held on grass or alternatively indoors if the weather is inclement. The horses are raring to go, all we need this time is for our members, friends and family to attend in large numbers.

It would be great if you could make time in your busy schedules to join us, it really is a fun event, with some members even taking short holidays with  their winnings! 

First race – 6.45pm
