Penlee Short Mat Bowls Club was established in the Millennium year 2000 with a single mat in the clubhouse and first entered the short mat evening league in 2001 with one team.  The short mat 'A' Team enjoyed considerable success during the first ten years; promoted to the Premier Division, winner of the "Rae Francis" county competition two years in succession, in  2009 and  2010, and a number of Penlee players represented the County. The clubhouse was extended during 2015 and today we have two mats and can accommodate a third if necessary. We now have five teams, 2 playing in the evening and 3 in the afternoon leagues. We also run a number of in-house competitions and leagues. In 2022 Penlee won the "Rae Francis" county competition again.

​

Short Mat bowling is available 365 days of the year at Penlee. Currently we have over 30 members who play regularly. There are also regular 'roll ups' during the season when members are encouraged to come along for a game of bowls, a cuppa and a chat.

 

New members are always welcome, whether they are experienced short mat bowlers or absolute beginners.
