It has been a while and like bowling you have all been missed. No Craic and no beer but worse than that we didn’t get to see each other due to the pandemic. The PM’s announcement means we will most likely be bowling this year so I need to know you availability by 31st March. This will be my last year as Team Manager and we would like to go out on a high so your full support would be appreciated. In return I will make it a year to remember too!

if the circumstances change due to the pandemic and the easing of lockdown we will obviously have to adapt but please make yourself available assuming we come out of lockdown as planned and bowling is allowed to take place as normal.

Senior Squad members please can you review the fixtures for Midland Counties and Middleton Cup and let me know by emailing me on which matches you are available to play in by the 31st March.

Martyn Murley (Team Manager)

The Middleton Cup represents one of the most challenging and most competitive leagues to play in. To take part, you are selected on your bowling credentials and ability to be part of the team. When we first starting playing bowls, you had to have been a county champion in one of the primary disciplines, singles/pairs/triples or fours, before consideration. We don't operate this way anymore, and we would like to break with tradition to ask clubs to nominate “wildcards” players for consideration that we might not have seen or be aware of that you may believe has the potential to be a top 24 player.

We have two key competitions, Midland Counties and the Middleton Cup. the Midland Counties is the development side. This team is used to try new bowlers, different combinations for the Middleton Cup and give potential players confidence as they step up to county bowling, often competing against England squad players and national title winners.

It is an honour to be a Warwickshire Bear and wear the shirt, so please nominate the talent that could be one of the best.

Martyn Murley (Senior Team Manager)
