Fixtures

We are fielding teams in the London, Thames Valley and Surrey Leagues in the 2025-26 season. Our London League team is for stronger players, while our Thames Valley League teams cater for players of all strengths. Our top Surrey team is in their third division, and suitable for players rated in the region of 1700-2000. We also run teams in lower divisions of the Surrey League to give new members more opportunities for match practice.

Our TVA, B, C, E and Surrey teams will be playing home matches on Tuesday evenings at the Adelaide, Teddington until the end of March 2026, and on Thursday evenings at our new venue, Cambridge Park Bowls Club, East Twickenham from April 2026 onwards. Our D team, which is run separately, plays its matches at the Twickenham Club. Details of away venues will be found on the league websites or available from your match captain.

Note that Divisions 1-3 in the Thames Valley League remain at 6 boards this season. Division X will be played over 4 boards.
