About the club
Welcome to Greystones Lawn Bowling Club
Our club was founded in 1985 and is situated in a beautiful, tranquil setting by the sea in Greystones just a 2 minute walk from the train station and 5 minutes from the N11.
We cater for bowlers of all ages and abilities all are made equally welcome. Lawn bowls is a competitive sport, but can also be played socially. It is an enjoyable team or singles sport and a great way of enjoying the company of others.
We are always looking for members those of you who are brand new to the game, as well as experienced bowlers to join our club.
Special introductory membership fee of 150 euro for new bowlers in their first year.
Bowlers visiting the Greystones area are welcome to join us for a roll-up. The green fee is 5 euro per session
Message from our President
It is my great pleasure and duty on behalf of the members of Greystones Bowling Club to welcome you to our fabulous website. I hope you enjoy browsing it. Our club is based in the beautiful Burnaby Park in Greystones. We are open to all. If you’re passing, come in for a chat. If there’s a game on, come in and watch it. It’s a game of great skill. The camaraderie within the club both socially and competitively is very positive.
We compete in several Irish Lawn Bowling (ILB) leagues and championships. Our division 2 Saturday league team under the captaincy of John Conroy won the Cullen Cup in 2024. A fabulous achievement by our players which means we have achieved senior status and play in Division 1 in 2025. Our club’s fours team won the Mecredy Cup in 2024 in another fine achievement. Our ‘newbie’ players from the last two years won the Development League in March this year 2025, against some very stiff opposition.
We have a magnificent grass green in a very picturesque and peaceful garden setting. It is maintained by our Greens convenor Pat Davis and a dedicated band of club volunteers. Bowling is a game for all ages. Our youngest member Moira is 21, whilst our oldest playing member Tom is 92, a mere 71 years in the difference. A common refrain in the bowling world is “I’m sorry I didn’t take it up earlier”. We hold our open days on the first week-end of May each year. People can have a go. If you fancy trying it out, free coaching can be arranged to see if it’s for you.
Enjoy the site.
Fergus A. O’Brien, Club President 2024, 2025.
