Once again, the coronavirus has done its best to destroy bowls at Ilford despite such a promising start in September and October. We were hoping that when we came out of full lockdown on the 2nd December, we would be able to resume bowls with at least 6 players per rink. Unfortunately we came out of the fireplace and into the fire and we found ourselves in tier 2. If that were not bad enough, with Covid cases rising exponentially (don’t you just love that word?) we now find ourselves in Tier 3 with nowhere to go and no one to see!
