In 2024, Wymondham A team were relegated from the Premier division of the Norfolk EBA league. We played for 2025 in the Central 1 division, which was a very competitive but friendly league.

A narrow victory against Shipdham on the last game of the league season resulted in them winning the league and qualifying for the WP Baker cup, which involved the winners of all five divisions and was held at Thorpe Recreation Ground.

Wymondham won the preliminary round against Cawston, progressing to the semi-final against a team from King’s Lynn. This proved to be a very close game, with Wymondham only taking the win on the very last end.

The final of the WP Baker Cup was played on the same afternoon against Martham Bowls Club. With Wymondham making a strong start, this was a much more comfortable game, enabling them to control it from the outset and secure a good win to lift the Baker Cup.

Captain Ali Stevenson said, "it has been a very challenging and exciting season playing in a different league. We were warmly welcomed by all opposition teams and some great bowls were played. I am immensely proud of all players for making my first season as captain a memorable one."

Wymondham will return to the Premier League next season.

On 16th August, the club held an Open Day to encourage people who haven’t tried bowls before to come along and have a go, or to encourage those who may have played in the past to return. The event was advertised far and wide through posters, Facebook and a mention on Radio Norfolk. It was well attended, and newcomers were given vouchers for free coaching sessions by a qualified coach if they thought the sport might be for them.

Wymondham Bowls Club has a full schedule of competitive games throughout the winter season. But for those who want to play a more relaxed game, we have sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday where you can play in casual clothes, provided you have suitable footwear.

We welcome anybody who would like to give it a go! Contact us here for more information.
