A NORTH East Wales bowling club is looking to inspire the next generation of competitors.

Flint Coleshill Bowling Club has gained the support of Tesco in an initiative to offer children the chance of trying out crown green bowls.

Club chairman Brian Carroll said: "We received a £1,000 grant from Tesco community scheme.

"We've used it to purchase purpose-made bowls for children to use and we want to get children involved in crown green bowls."

Brian added: "What happened is that crown green bowls has had a bit of a hit during Covid.

"We decided we wanted to get the children involved."

With the £1,000 grant, the club has purchased eight pairs of bowls.

"With that, we have got target mats and all different kinds of activities they can do," said Brian.

"They have got targets to aim for."

Any youngsters wanting to get involved can contact Brian on 07961 626582.
