Another proud day for Lancashire at Royal Leamington Spa, with Lewis Rimmer and George Tague representing the Red Rose on the national stage.

🏆 𝗟𝗘𝗪𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝟴

Lewis continued his outstanding Men's 2-Bowl Singles campaign with an excellent 18-14 victory over England international Ed Morris (Essex) in the Last 16. He then faced Perry Martin (Hampshire) in the quarter-finals, narrowly missing out on a semi-final place by just two shots, losing 15-13 after 21 ends.

To finish amongst the final eight players in the country is a fantastic achievement and a campaign to be incredibly proud of 👏

🔴 𝗚𝗘𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗨𝗘

George stepped up in the Boys' U17 Singles, taking on Aidan Brickles (Lincolnshire) in the quarter-finals.

Despite coming up against a strong opponent, George represented Lancashire superbly before bowing out 21-9. Reaching the National Finals and competing amongst the country's top young bowlers is a fantastic achievement and a great platform to build on in the years ahead 🙌

Congratulations to both players on representing Lancashire with distinction at the 2026 National Finals.

With both competitions now concluded, Lancashire will have no National Finals representatives in action tomorrow. Our attention now turns to the Men's and Women's Senior Fours, which begin on Sunday as Lancashire's National Finals campaign continues.

The weekend at Appleby Bowling Club bought about two standout runs all the way to the finals.

Lewis Rimmer and Anthony Booth-Young both reached their respective finals in the Singles and Two Bowl, finishing the weekend as 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀-𝘂𝗽 👏

A fantastic achievement - and valuable preparation as both now look ahead to Leamington.

But one of the biggest highlights of the weekend came from our junior rinks.

Our young players represented Lancashire with huge pride, enthusiasm and, most importantly, plenty of personality ❤️

And our girls certainly made sure they were noticed!

Turning up in their Lancashire colours with 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝘂𝗽, 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿, they looked absolutely fantastic and it was a brilliant sight to see them proudly representing the Red Rose.

That is what county bowls should be about - 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲, 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆.

A huge well done to every player who pulled on the Lancashire shirt this weekend. You represented the county with pride, both on and off the green.

A massive thank you goes out to Appleby BC and the Northern Counties Bowling Association for the revamp championships.
