Development League,

Following considerable feedback on the success of last years Development League, the ILB DEVCO decided to run another one ahead of the upcoming 2024 summer season.
 
The League, which is aimed at new and nearly new players, will be held across 3 greens, Herbert Park, Leinster and North Kildare.  Whilst the overarching aim is to get people out enjoying the sport, the structure helps to integrate players into semi-competitive league structures.  Based on last years feedback, participating Clubs really benefited from this.   
 
Section 1 is made up of Crumlin, Greystones, Herbert Park and North Kildare.  Section 2 features Blackrock, Clontarf, Leinster and Ierne.  The first round of fixtures takes place on 25 Feb with the play-offs on 24 March.                          
Best of luck to everyone and enjoy the experience.

Para Bowling

History was made when Ireland played England in the first Para Bowls Test. The Irish side consisting  of bowlers from North and South lost by 3 matches to 2.  For their inaugural international trial this was an excellent result.  The future is bright for Irish Para Bowls.

Above is a photo of the team and their officials and carers.  Included from the ILB are :-

Paul Smyth Leinster
Glenn Klufmann Leinster
Shane Barker Sportslink
Margaret McNevin and Nicky Smyth who travelled as the teams coaches
Anne O Herlihy as ILB Vice President and finally Shane’s dad Nick Barker as his carer

The ILB wish to thank Michael McAleer from Sportslink who sponsored the the tops for both the players and officials, this is much appreciated.

Strategic Plan

It was great to get the updated ILB Strategic Plan 2024-27 finalised and sent to Sport Ireland – this sets out our priorities for the next few years which we have already started working on.  The Plan was sent to all Clubs and is also available on the ILB Website.

50 Plus Show

We have agreed to take part in this two day convention on 15 and 16 March 24 in the RDS and look forward to talking to attendees about our sport – hopefully this will generate further new members!  Attendance at the event will be supported by an article in Senior Times early in the new year.  We look forward to your support in advertising the event through your Club media, further details will be shared nearer the time.

 Club Development Activities

DEVCO will be writing to all Clubs in the coming weeks to ask for updated information on membership numbers and areas in which you need support from the ILB and DEVCO in particular.  Accurate membership information is really important as we use it for reporting to Sport Ireland in support of future grant applications.
