The annual Battle of the Bridge is taking place today, on a stunning Auckland Day. The Battle of the Bridge is a Ryder Cup format, with all players playing one round each of Fours, Pairs and Singles. A blind draw before each round determines who plays who.

The Open Men are playing at Browns Bay Bowling Club; Open Women at Mairangi Bay Bowling Club; 1-5 Year Men and Women at Blockhouse Bay Bowls.

We wish all teams the very best and will bring you the results at the end of the day.
