THE tranquil green of Grays Town Bowls Club, nestled behind the Civic Hall at Blackshots (King George V Playing Field, Blackshots Lane, Grays), is about to come alive with fierce competition and community spirit as the Thurrock Bowls Finals roll into town on the weekend of the 13th & 14th of September.

Despite bowls often being seen as a genteel pastime, the finals promise anything but a quiet affair. With matches scheduled across Saturday and Sunday—and some midweek showdowns—spectators can expect a thrilling display of skill, strategy, and sportsmanship from both the men's and ladies' outdoor competitions.

The finals are not just about crowning champions—they're a celebration of community.

Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a curious newcomer, the Thurrock Bowls Finals offer a perfect opportunity to enjoy top-tier local sport in a welcoming atmosphere. Entry is free, and refreshments are available at the club bar.

Don't miss your chance to witness the best of Thurrock bowls — where tradition meets tenacity on the green. Matches start at 10am!
