1 Mike J Doody President Welsh Indoor Bowls Association 2019/2020
Can I firstly say what an honour and a privilege it is to become the President of the WIBA.
I would like to congratulate Peter Groom for the dedicated manner in which he carried out his duties as your President last year. It was a pleasure to be his Senior Vice President and I look forward to his support during my term in office.
2 My thanks go to the committee and members of Newport Indoor Bowls Club for nominating me for this prestigious position in Welsh Bowls. I am only the second person from Newport IBC to hold this position (after John Llewellyn) and I will do my utmost to maintain the standards set by all the previous incumbents of the Presidential position.
I look forward to working alongside the Senior Vice President Michael Flanagan and Ken Henderson the Junior Vice President, together of course with Peter Groom. To the Officers of the Association I would say, Thank you for all your hard work, and please can we have more of the same.
May I take this opportunity to thank all the club’s, on behalf of the WIBA, for allowing us the use of your stadiums to hold International and National competitions at all levels from Senior to Junior. Also thanks to the Welsh Coaching Association and the Welsh Bowls Umpires Association for all the hard work and assistance they give us.
I would be pleased to accept any invites to stadiums and would be pleased to accept invitations from clubs wishing to host a Presidential match.
I look forward to your support during my Presidential year and to meeting as many of you as possible.
My chosen charity for the coming year is Children’s Air Ambulance Wales.
Remember Bowls is a game for all. Please enjoy it and ensure you play the game in the best of spirits.
Enjoy Mike

Indoor Bowling is based on Teamwork, therefore I will: • Not abuse or misuse any relationship of trust or position of power or influence held by me in any team. • Be on time, dressed appropriately and ready to give my full attention to the role I am carrying out within Indoor Bowling in Wales. • Recognise that individuals bring different qualities and attributes but “together we will excel”. • Welcome new members and volunteers and co-operate with Members, Connected Participants, colleagues, coaches, umpires, officials and administrators already in the Sport.
I recognise individuals participate in Indoor Bowling to achieve and for enjoyment, therefore I will:

The Welsh Indoor Bowls Association expects the best possible standards of performance and conduct from all its member clubs and participants.
WIBA - ALCOHOL AWARENESS STATEMENT The consumption of alcohol is not deemed as necessary at any point during an WIBA event or an event in which the WIBA is represented.
No alcohol will be consumed during play at International events in which the WIBA is participating in and the consumption of alcohol during play at National Finals events in Wales is strongly discouraged.
Rules on the consumption of alcohol prior to and after the completion of play each day at an International event will be in agreement with the Director of Bowls/Team Manager in the first instance. Players will be issued with a directive prior to each event by the Director of Bowls/Team Manager.
Any player or Official found consuming alcohol or under the influence of alcohol and not able to uphold their status as a representative of the WIBA at any event shall be removed from the team or office with immediate effect and an additional penalty will be considered, unless extenuating circumstances are accepted by the WIBA through a process of Appeal.
The WIBA expects all players and Officials to understand their limitations with alcohol in their system and also expects players and Officials to have respect for the position they are in to not let alcohol cause them to drop their standard of behaviour, maturity or performance.
By signing this Code of Conduct I agree to the following- a) Not to drink alcohol during an International event. b) Abide by the directive given by the Director of Bowls/Team Manager in relation to drinking alcohol prior to and after the completion of play each day.
25 WIBA – USE OF BANNED SUBSTANCES STATEMENT The World Indoor Bowls Council prohibits the use of banned substances or methods of doping and are governed by the Rules & Regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).The WIBA also is required to comply with these Rules & Regulations, and in no circumstances will the use of banned substances or methods of doping be tolerated. All medication taken should be advised to the WIBA Secretary so that this may be checked out. In all circumstances, this information will be treated as CONFIDENTIAL between the WIBA and the player/Official. In certain circumstances a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is required and application must be made and accepted by a practicing doctor.
By signing this Code of Conduct I agree to the following:- a) Neither possess nor encourage the use of any illegal or prohibited drugs. b) Ensure the WIBA is notified of any doping related offences arising out of WIBA activities. c) Make myself aware of the WADA regulations through the U.K. Sport Anti-Doping information
Any member of the Team or Official on duty at an event, who is found guilty of a doping offence prior to or during any Event after WIBA procedures have been followed, shall be banned from future play, unless extenuating circumstances are accepted by the WIBA through process of Appeal.
The taking of illegal drugs will not be tolerated at any point in Indoor Bowling in Wales and any player or Official found consuming illegal drugs or under the influence of illegal drugs shall be removed from any WIBA event, or events the WIBA are participating in, immediately.
WIBA - SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY STATEMENT Social Media sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, Linkedin, You Tube, as well as Forums and Blogs are exciting avenues expressing creativity and sharing interests and knowledge. Participation in these online communications is therefore supported. However there is a danger of online discussions and posting of online content causing distress to individuals or groups of members which could detract from the overall enjoyment of people involved in our sport.
The Welsh Indoor Bowls Association social media policy is guided by the key principles of the WIBA Code of Conduct which are:–
• The WIBA wishes to operate in an environment where people show respect for others. • Teamwork. • Achievement • Enjoyment.
This Code applies to every Member of the WIBA who acknowledge and agree to comply with the Code, failure to do so may result in disciplinary action being taken against you. If any disciplinary action is taken, persons directly affected shall be given the opportunity to participate in those proceedings and the right to appeal against any decision against them.
The WIBA promotes responsible use of social media and requires its members, when posting about the WIBA and its members or about any of the Member Clubs of the WIBA or events run under the auspices of the WIBA to observe the following guidelines for responsible social media use.
26 1. The WIBA requires members to take responsibility for their own words and for the comments allowed on their sites or forums, WIBA members will not post unacceptable content, and will delete comments that contain it.
Unacceptable content is defined as anything included or linked to that: a) is being used to abuse, harass, stalk or threaten others. b) is libellous, knowingly false, or misrepresents another person. c) infringes upon a copyright or trademark. d) violates an obligation or confidentiality. e) violated the privacy of others. 2. WIBA members should not post anything online that they would not say in person. 3. WIBA members connect privately before they respond publicly. When members encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in social networking sites, they make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved – or find an intermediary who can do so – before publishing any posts or comments about the issue. 4. The WIBA strongly discourages personal attacks. When someone who is publishing comments that are offensive, members will tell them so. It is hoped that this will be done in a private manner as guided by principal 3 5. Anonymous comments are discouraged. All content posters should be required to supply a valid Email address before they can post. However, authorised posters may identify themselves with an alias, rather than a real name. 6. The WIBA prefers members not to respond to nasty comments about them, their group, event or site. If posts veer into abuse or libel, the WIBA supports the use of disciplinary and grievance procedures to resolve issues. 7. The WIBA encourages players and Officials on International duty to post responsibly and positively about their experiences. They should also adhere to direction from their respective Director of Bowls/Team Manager about acceptable times to post on social media. The WIBA discourages use of social media after the agreed curfew time.
The Welsh Indoor Bowls Association encourages all members to “think before posting”. Members should recognise that even if posting to a private section of a social networking site comments can appear in public areas through a variety of means and can easily be found. Members should avoid posting something they will regret now or later.
WIBA – CHILD SAFEGUARDING & VULNERABLE ADULTS STATEMENT The Welsh Indoor Bowls Association fully accepts its legal and moral obligations to exercise its duty of care and to protect all children and vulnerable adults participating in its activities, and to safeguard their welfare.
We are committed to do this by acknowledging that: • The welfare of the child is paramount • Each child irrespective of age, gender, religion, race or disability has the right to Protection from abuse. • Each child has aright to be safe and to be treated with respect and dignity.

80 WELSH INDOOR YOUNG BOWLERS ASSOCIATION NATIONAL JUNIOR CO-ORDINATORS REPORT 2018/2019 Gentlemen, this is my third report to the Annual General Meeting as Junior Co-ordinator, this season I am pleased to inform you that numbers in the junior section have remained on a par with last year this is in part due to some new young bowlers joining the clubs but also as a result of the increase in age limit to under 18s. This season has been an exciting one with all the tournaments keenly fought out between a spread of clubs.
The first finals to be played were the under 16s and under 18s singles titles, these were played in early February in conjuction with the Open Singles Championship and were held at Merthyr Tydfil Indoor Bowls Stadium, the under 16s champion was Rhys Colwin from Port Talbot IBC and Cory Bayliss from Rhondda IBC won the under 18s title, well done to both bowlers and to all of the other young bowlers who entered the singles a total of 43 young bowlers. I would like to thank the Merthyr Tydfil club for hosting the finals and Nigel Williams for organising events on the day.
The end of March saw the Frantic Fives Tournament being held at Port Talbot IBC, five stadiums entered teams and the event was a great success, at the end of four rounds of matches Islwyn were just shading Rhondda by half a point and in a winner takes all game the two teams played each other in the final event the five aside game the game went to the final bowls when Islwyn needed to ditch the white to win the game and the championship but failed to do so leaving Rhondda IBC as Champions for the second year in a row. The Rhondda team was Dylan Hawkins, Lauren Gowan, Estee Parry, Tegan Rees and Emily Lawrence. Well done to all of you. I would also like to thank the Port Talbot club for hosting events during the season and particulary Martin Johnson and the team who kept us fed and watered early on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
This years National Finals weekend was held at Earlswood IBC, this proved to be quite challenging for the young bowlers, one of the rinks was to difficult for them to bowl on and a decision was taken not to use it. This ment that on a number of occasions players were playing consecutive games on the same rink, not ideal but the co-operation of the players and coaches and some common sense everything was resolved and the spectators witnessed a feast of good quality bowling from our young bowlers.
The under 16s pairs were won by Billy Flynn and Rhys Colwin of Port Talbot IBC who defeated Oliver Witchell and Jack Mounty of Islwyn in a fantastic final with all four bowlers producing a game that did not deserve to have runners up.The under 18s pairs were won by Lauren Viles and Ethan Humphries from Merthyr Tydfil IBC who ran out winners against Tegan Rees and Tom Sims of Rhondda IBC. Again this was a good match to watch but the Merthyr pair always had the upper hand.
The triples final winners were from Port Talbot IBC, Jasmin Stanton, Billy Flynn and Rhys Colwin who beat Alex Morgan, Lewys Lavall and Jack Mounty in the final. Both triples played well but the experiences of Rhys Colwin saw his side take the title. For the second year in succession the fours final was an all Rhondda affair and credit must be given to the club and its coaches for producing talented bowlers in significant numbers, other clubs could benefit from looking at the Rhondda model of coaching young bowlers. In the final the four of Amelia Roberts, Emily Lawrence, Tom Sims and Dylan Hawkins beat the four skipped by Cory Bayliss again in a close final.
I would like to place on record my thanks to all of the players who took part in this years tournaments, the parents who transported them to the venues on Saturday and Sunday morning for the early rounds, the clubs and their coaches for the time that they have invested in the players. Well done and thank you for all for supporting the young bowler events. Some players have reached the age where they will be to old for next season, as you progress in the game of bowls as I know you will, good luck in the senior age group. The talent you all have will help you succeed if you apply yourselves to the game.
To close my report I would like to thank Barrie Bellamy who attended and organised the East Section tournaments. Life is so much easier when people work in tandem for the benefit of bowls, our Director of Bowls Stephen Rees who attended events during the season, this was a big boost for our youngsters. We need to expand this co- operation along with the Welsh Ladies and Bowls Wales in development programme that reaches all corners of the country, these young bowlers are our future.

95 WIBA DIRECTOR OF BOWLS REPORT ON 2019 BRITISH ISLES CHAMPIONSHIPS AND HOME INTERNATIONAL SERIES AT FALCON IBC, CHELMSFORD
The Championship players made their own travel arrangements to the event and arrived on Sunday 10th March 2019. The accommodation was very comfortable but was 21 miles from the venue and with the opening sessions starting at 9:30am players had to leave the hotel no later than 8am to arrive at the venue in time.
Junior Singles 18 year old Jordan Driscoll was our representative in this event and his tender years were evident as he struggled badly and only scored on one end as he was comprehensively between 21-2.
Open Singles Ross Owen played excellent in one of the games of the tournament but lost 21-20 to Scotland’s Paul Foster who was looking for a third straight victory in the event. Ross had led 10-5, 13-7 and 16-13 before just losing out in a classic encounter.
Open Pairs Cynon Valleys Dai Prosser and Jarrad Breen were in outstanding form as they swept aside Scotland in the prelim match and Jersey in the semi final and although they played very well in the final England’s Mark Dawes produced a World class performance to take the title with a 24-15 victory.
Open Triples Merthyr trio Sam Roff, Kevin Stephens and Luke Harwood got off to a flier in their semi final match against Ireland to lead 14-2 and 16-4 before a spirited comeback by Ireland saw them get back to 16-12 playing the last end. However Wales held on to score a single and win 17-12. They failed to reproduce that performance in the final and were soon 9-1 behind against a strong England trio slipped by Nicky Brett and although they battled back to 12-8 England finished strongly to win 19-12.
Open Fours Cynon Valley quartet Jordan Davies, Jack Breen, Paul Taylor and Jarras Breen started brilliantly in their prelim match against England and at halfway had built up a deserved 12-6 lead only to see England score 20 shots without reply over the following 10 ends to win 26-12.
96 Senior Fours Cardiff’s Wayne Barry, John Bartlett, Wayne Letman and Clive Todd had a titanic battle against an Ireland rink skipped by Jim Baker and Wales got off to a solid start lead 5-1 before Ireland aided by a few lucky bowls came back to lead 14-7 and 17-9. Wales dug deep in the closing stages and going in to the last end were 1 shot adrift and holding shot to take the game into an extra end but Baker sliced the jack to give his side shot and a 19-17 victory. Overall the general play was very good and Wales were unfortunately to lose out at the death especially in the Open Singles and Senior Fours. The biggest disappointment was the Fours losing their way in the second half and failing to score after leading 12-6. Both runners up in the Open Pairs and Open Triples battled gamely but fell just short in their events.
Home International Series All the players arrived by the evening of Wednesday 13th March with the series starting the following day. I was confident a competitive side had been selected with a mixture of youth and experience.
Wales v Scotland Wales arrived at the Stadium Thursday afternoon for this vital opening match but unfortunately from the first end to the last Wales were outplayed and out fought which was very disappointing as Scotland went on to record a convincing 146-101 victory. Four of the Wales rink completed throughout but 20 shots defeats for David Harding and Jarrad Breen meant we were always up against it and those heavy defeats had no reflection on the way the two skips had played. I announced the same team for the following day but demanded a response as the performance wasn’t good enough with 10 of the 24 players struggled.
Rink Scores Daniel Salmon 19, Alex Marshall 16. Jason Greenslade 22, Paul Foster 23. Ross Owen 20, Colin Walker 24. David Harding 14, Stewart Anderson 34. Jarrad Breen 11, Iain McLean 31. David Kingdom 15, Darren Burnett 18.
Wales v England Wales were once again slowly out of the blocks and were soon 20 shots behind but there was a bit of spirit in the side and they got back to 12 shots on a number of occasions during the following 10 ends but could never get back into single figures which might just have shook them up a bit. The last 5/6 ends saw Wales chase the game and England ran out 131-96 victors but I felt this scoreline flattered England somewhat after what was a much better performance by Wales. Unfortunately I felt changes were necessary and Neil Taylor, David Prosser, Nigel Williams and Mike Hart would be replaced by Mikey Brain, Anthony Smith, Mike Jackson and Mark Osling for the final match against Ireland.
97 Rink Scores Jarred Breen 20, James Chestney 22. David Kingdom 17, Nicky Brett 15. Daniel Salmon 17, Perry Martin 18. Jason Greenslade 16, Greg Harlow 25. Ross Owen 10, Sam Tolchard 19. David Harding 16, Jamie Walker 32.
Wales v Ireland A much better start saw Wales take what looked like an invincible 79-39 lead just after halfway but a spirited fightback by Ireland coupled by a fading Wales performance saw Ireland take a 7 shot lead with only four ends remaining. However Wales picked up 7 shots in the closing ends to snatch an unlikely draw after once looking certain to win in style. Despite making changes, problems still existed on some rinks and despite being told on numerous occasions about fluid intake it seemed that a lot of the team were dehydrated with was instrumental in the team’s collapse.
Rink Scores Ross Owen 18, Andy Duncan 13. David Harding 12, Stephen Coleman 25. Jarrad Breen 18, Ian McClure 24. David Kingdom 17, Andy Kyle 18. Daniel Salmon 18, Gary McCloy 12. Jason Greenslade 22, Graham McKee 13.

Prior to the Scotland game a presentation was made to David Harding for achieving 75 caps for this country and the same presentation was made to Jason Greenslade prior to the England game. Congratulations to you both.

99 DIRECTOR OF BOWLS REPORT IIBC UNDER 25 SINGLES AND MIXED PAIRS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Players Representing Wales Men: Daniel Salmon (Cardiff) & Kristian Crocker (Islwyn) Ladies: Lowri Powell (Taff Ely) & Chiara Palmer Needs (Cynon Valley)
Kristian Crocker Kristian had a tough start against Scotland’s Stephen Lowrie who was playing on his home green and as well as struggling to find any consistency in his own game Kristian lost in straight sets. It didn’t get any easier for Kristian as he was well beaten in his next game against Ireland’s Robert Kirkwood who went on to win the Group and lift the title. To his credit Kristian knuckled down to defeat Hong Kong’s Sham Wang Yin, England’s Jamie Barker and Guernsey’s Josh Bonsall to finish in third place in the Group with 6 points.
Daniel Salmon Daniel also had a tough opener against last year’s champion England’s Edward Elmore and despite playing well Daniel was edged out in both sets by a single shot. Daniel maintained his impressive form in the second game against Ryan Gualtieri but despite his efforts Daniel was beaten on a tie break when Ryan played a wonder bowl to win the match with the last bowl of the match. Daniel continued to impress and won his next 3 matches in style and with results in a tough group going his way he qualified for the semi finals in second place on shots difference. Unfortunately Daniel lost out on a tie break in the semi final and took the bronze medal.
Chiara Palmer Needs Chiara was making her debut in this type of event but wasn’t overawed by the occasion. She began with a defeat in her first match against winner England’s Nicole Rogers on a tie break but was pleased with her Bronze medal.
Lowri Powell Lowri started really well by defeating Canada’s Sarah Webster and Hong Kong’s Leung Seen Was Chili and continued to play well in her next two matches against England’s Nicole Rogers and Scotland’s Emma McIntyre but in both matches she lost out on the last bowl of the tie break to finish in third place in the group. Lowri was also making her debut at this level and showed maturity beyond her 17 years and I am sure we will see and hear a lot more of her in the future.
Mixed Pairs Chiara paired up with Ireland’s Robert Kirkwood but they never really looked comfortable playing with each other and were comfortably defeated in straight sets by Scotland duo Emma McIntyre and Stephen Lowrie. Lowri Powell and Daniel Salmon on the other hand looked comfortable throughout the event winning against Canada’s Carah Webster and Rob Law in the prelim match before playing well to beat Carla Banks and Ryan Gualtieri in the quarter finals. They just got the better of Hong Kong in a hard fought semi final but were well beaten in the final against another Hong Kong pair and had to settle for a Silver medal. 100 Overall the 4 Welsh players all played their part in a very good event. But for some last bowl tie break defeats the final results could have been so difficult. One consideration for next year’s event will be to get the players together before travelling and put in some practice on tie breaks as I felt that was a slight weakness in our play.
WIBA DIRECTOR OF BOWLS Stephen Rees
UNDER 25 SERIES REPORT, ABERDEEN
We started out early on Thursday morning for what we all knew was going to be a long jouney and after a couple of stops arrived at our hotel at 7:30pm. The team were told to chill out but make sure they were all on the coach by 1pm on friday as we would be practicing at Stonehaven which was approximately 25 minutes away. the green at Stonehaven was heavier than Aberdeen but the idea was to break the day up for the boys and I organised a mini tournament amongst the rinks.
A meeting was held at 9:30pm in the hotel chaired by our President and joining Peter to address the players was myself, my number 2 Ian Slade and team captain Ross Owen. As was the case last year there was an air of confidence amongst the team and I reminded them how much it had hurt last year finishing second and having tweaked the team a little I was confident we could go one better this year.
Wales v Ireland Wales started well and just before halfway had opened up a 20 shots lead only for Ireland to fight back to get within a couple of shots nefore we pulled away again to lead by 17 shots going into the latter stages. Ireland came back strong again in the closing stages but we held on for a 81-74 victory with wins for Ross, Jordan and Liam and a 3 shots defeat for Daniel.
Wales v Scotland Wales started really well in the afternoon game and went 16 shots in front and still held a 7 shots led at halfway but Scotland maintained the momentum to lead by 5 shots going into the final quarter only to see Wales battle back and in a very exciting final few endssome brilliant bowls by both sides saw the game finish level with Daniel Salmon drawing the shot and Jordan Davies drawing a seconf shot with match lies against them.Wales had two winning rinks skipped by Jordan and Liam while Daniel and Ross were both narrowly beaten.
Wales v England I made 1 change for this game with Josh Boyce coming in for his debut, replacing Dylan Hookings who had struggled in both games. A meeting was held on the eve of the game and again prior to the match at the Stadium and the players were reminded of the importance of this final game where victory would give Wales the title ofr the first time since 2004 and the players didn’t disappoint as they battled from the first end to the last.
England had slightly the better of the final half to lead by 7 shots but Wales had a very god period just after to lead by 3 shots going into the final quarter and it was from here on that the 101 lead went one way then the other but it was Wales who finished the stronger outscoring England by 15 shots to 6 over the final 3 ends across the green to win the match 87-79 and take the title for the first time in 15 years.
Huge celebrations followed and rightly so as these boys had goven everything to achieve this victory with none of them being part of winning team before this series. Liam and Jordan completed a hat trick of victories while Ross and Daniel battled to draw games although the website scores are incorrect.
My thanks must go to our president Peter Groom, Junior Vice Preident Mike Flanagan and Treasurer David Phillips for their assistance not only on the weekend but prior to the series as well.
Also thanks muct go to my number 2 Ian Slade for his valued input and to the 18 players who fought and battled all weekend especially when things weren’t going our way. Congratulations to each and every one of you.
Finally, I would like to thank our loyal band of followers led by Layton Davies who cheered and supported the boys throughout the 2 days and I know the team greatly appreciate this support.

102 IIBC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Played at Merthyr Tydfil from Tuesday 9th - Friday 12th April 2019
Firstly I would like to thank the IIBC and the Merthyr Tydfil Club for putting on this event. Thanks must also go to the staff, the umpires, the markers and last but not least the players who put on a great show all week.
In the Mixed Pairs event we could have had all 3 of our teams qualify for the semi finals but in the end Marion Purcell and Mark Harding lost out on shots despite beating eventual champions Devon Cooper and Martin Puckett, Amy Williams and Jack Breen lost out on a head defeat against Pauline Price and Robert Kirkwood in a very close game that went to the last end of the tie break and our third pair of Kerry Packwppd and Mike Brain just sneaked into the semi finals where they defeated Janice Gower and Jack Bird but lost out in a high quality final againist the outstanding Devon Cooper and Marting Puckett.
The Ladies Singles saw Marion Purcell and Kerry Packwood depart in the Group stages but Amy Williams won all her group ma†ches and qualified for the semi finals only to lose out to Devon Cooper who was again in top form.
The Mens Singles saw Mark Harding struggle to find his best form and he lost 3 out of his 4 group matches, Mike Brain was still in contention to qualify for the semi finals up to his final group match against Stewart Anderson but despite a confident start by Mike it was the Scotmans who qualified for the semi finals.
Our third representative Jack breen played very well in his opening 3 group matches comfortably beating Israel and Isle of Man and then edging out recently crowned British Isles Singles winner Jack Bird before loosing to Scotland’s Graham McKenzie in his final match.
However, Jack had accumulated enough shots to qualify for the semi finals where he beat Martin Puckett in an exciting match that went down to the wire.
The final was one game too many for Jack who was well beaten by Stewart Anderson but the 18 year old can take a lot of postives out of his event and I am sure we will see a lot more of this talented youngster in the future.
Overall Wales finished with 2 Silver medals and 2 Bronze medals.
