We had an entry of 32 bowlers from across The Algarve and the UK competing in the competition with the vast majority travelling from the UK. The standard of bowling on display was excellent and our visitors enjoyed the good weather as well as the bowling and socialising. Following an initial round-robin stage, the bowlers were streamed into two groups - one group continuing in the Tournament won for the third time by Steve McManus and the other in a subsidiary Shield won by Peter Case. The week ended with a very enjoyable drawn doubles competition won by Pedro Yates and Terry Norman. The 2026 Tournament will run from 23rd to 27th February and entry details will be available on the Club website (www.alvorbowlsclub.com).

Alvor Bowls Club welcomes visitors and new members playing both flat green and crown green bowls and full details can be found on the website. Tuition and equipment can be provided for new bowlers. Crown green bowls takes place at the Club every Tuesday afternoon.
