Thursday 05 August 2010 Team selections for this weekend's two games are published. Both games are MBA. Saturdays opposition is Cwmbran at home (Mecca). Sundays oppositin is RTB's away at Ebbw Vale. Saturday 17 July 2010 All the bowlers and spectators at Crossskeys and Pontymister Athletic match today held a minutes silence before the match, in respect for two bowlers, one from each club, who have passed away this last week. They Honoured both Gorden Richards of Crosskeys and Don Wilton of Pontymister Athletic. Good bowlers, good men, and good friends to us all. Gorden's funneral is on Tuesday at 1115 at St Mary's Church, Risca. Between the Darren and Exchange Public Houses. Don's funneral is on Friday at, I think 1015, at the Moriah Church, Risca, adjacent to the park in Risca and opposite the shops. It is suggested by the webmaster that bowlers paying their respects may like to wear white shirts, black ties and bowls blazers in honour of our friends now at rest. Crosskeys win local derby over local rivals Pontymister Athletic in a close and hard fought battle on the green, 85 shots to 71.

The game against Islwyn Park on Saturday 19 June 2010 is also cancelled. The MBA game gainst Machen on Sunday 20 June 2020 is still on as far as we know. Saturday 12 June 2010 Crosskeys loose to Beaufort at home 73 shots to 79 in a hard fought contest that went right to the last wood on the last end. Wednesday 9 June 2010 Despite sunshine and heavy rain tonight, Abercarn take revenge on their home green with a three shot win, two rinks up, two rinks down, 69 shots to 66 shot victory over Crosskeys in the very closly contested game in the South Mon league, that went to the very last bowl on the very last end. Sunday 06 June 2010 Crosskeys play host to Pembrokeshire Civil Service Bowls Club on a glorious summer's afternoon at the "mecca". Squeezing 7 rinks onto the green, both teams had a very good afternoon of bowls with the visitors winning by "1 shot"on the green, and Crosskeys winning by 8 pints in the bar afterwards. Well done all concerned. Saturday 05 June 2010 Crosskeys win away at Blackwood in MBA game and take 10 points to Blackwood's 4, in a close, tight and exciting game. Thursday 03 June 2010 Pontymister Athletic take a three rink victory over Crosskeys in the Islwyn Cup at home. Saturday 29 May 2010 On a typical summers rainy day with most bowlers in wet suits, Crosskeys managed a two rink win, at home to Whiteheads 90 shots to 69. A close game across three of the four rinks. Well done to all participants. Tuesday 26 May 2010.

Welcome to the web site of the Crosskeys Welfare Bowls Club. For the 2010 Bowls Season the Crosskeys Welfare Bowls Club, I think I can safely say, are looking forward to the coming season with relish, and to improve upon their placing in the MBA and South Mon leagues, as they done so well last season, dispite all the troubles the weather brought.
Background This club was first established in 1921, and remains at it's initial location at Waunfawr Park, Crosskeys, near Newport. For those who need to find us, just pop in the post code of NP11 7PF into you Sat Nav and you will end up on the road to the Park. Drive up or down it and you will see the park and its bowls green from the road. Find a safe place to park and come and join us.
Whilst the
club house has changed over the years,
the current club house remains the property of the bowls club; the
green
is maintained by
Caerphilly Borough Council. For
people interested in the rich local history of the village and local
area with
its
coal mining history, and a wide selection of photographs, of the old
Crosskeys and new, visit www.crosskeys.me.uk
The team enjoys the game of bowls in a more sedate, graceful and social manner, as befits gentlemen of their stature. They are looking forward to the 2010 Bowls Season and hope to do well, as a prelude to their 90th Anniversary Season next year in 2011. 
A very special Honour goes to to a young
man, aged
just 20 at the time, who won the County under 25's and also won
the Welsh
Singles Open
Competition in the 2009 Season. Congratulations to Mr Tom
Hanks.
He was also selected and played for
the the Welsh National Side in
the Under 25 International matches, and
is off to New Zealand later this year to represent
Wales at the
International
level in the World Champion of Champions. Well
done to them all and good luck for the 2010
season.
A very special "Thank you" goes to the
Ladies who
always provides our most excellent buffets and to the Gentlemen who
help
behind the bar and the upkeep of the
Clubhouse.
I must also add a big thank you to our
sponsors, for
their generosity and support, for seasons past and seasons yet to come.
The "webmaster" wishes both the team as
a whole, and
all the individual bowlers, all the best for their endevours this
coming
season.
For the visitors I wish you all a very warm and hospitable welcome and
a very enjoyable game of bowls at the
"mecca", Crosskeys Welfare Bowls Club,
seeing as I am also the Vice Captain for this Season. What ever next?
