Pembroke Dock Bowling Club will commence on Saturday 6th April


The 2019 season at Pembroke Dock Bowling Club will commence on Saturday 6th April, when the green will be opened by the customary rolling of the Silver Jack.

Mr Brian DowlingThis year the current longest-serving member of the club, namely, Mr Brian Dowling, has been invited to get the season underway by rolling the Silver Jack.

Brian is pictured right receiving the Tee Shield in 1970; the first of a great number of trophies won during his illustrious bowling career. He has, so far, clocked up 50 years as a member of Pembroke Dock Bowling Club and there is no record of any other member achieving such a long active membership.

Still playing a significant part



Brian continues to play a significant part in the club’s first team, competing in the County’s first division. Only last season, Brian was a member of the winning seniors rink in the County Championships – going on to compete in the National Finals in Llandrindod Wells.


Brian, together with Mrs Glenys Scourfield, is pictured in 2018 having been presented with the Rembrandt Trophy; this is the latest (but not last!) trophy to  grace the Dowling mantelpiece.
