Mixed week last week. 2nds powered on with 5-0 home win Vs North Kildare, but 1sts went down full 0-7 away to Greenhills (did say last week 'tough matches to come'). We'll keep getting carried away anyway-sheep, lamb etc-so C'MON THE UNIIIONNNNN!! 😁🚂🚂🚂#rubowls #comeontheunion

Another good week for RUBC just gone. 2nd team had a great result, winning 4-1 away to Blackrock last Monday, and 1st team had a solid home 6-1 win against Clontarf yesterday. Choo Choooooo!!! 😁🚂🚂 #rubowls #comeontheunion

Great results last week. Saturdays took 5 points from Westmanstown at the weekend & Mondays took 4.5 points away to Crumlin last Mon. Two fab away wins leave both teams in the top half of their respective leagues half-way through season (more or less)😁 #comeontheunion #rubowls🚂

[Railway Union Bowling Club @RailwayUnionBC]

Slightly mixed results this week. 1sts put up a good fight but lost 2-5 this afternoon at home to a strong league-leading Crumlin team while earlier in the week the 2nds had a good 4-1 against Westmanstown on Monday. A good solid week overall 😁 #rubowls #comeontheunion

[Railway Union Bowling Club @RailwayUnionBC]

Two great wins at home over the last few evenings. The 1sts beat Skerries 7-0 tonight and the 2nds beat CYM 5-0 last night. And the weather held up as well. In fact, nothing to complain about at all😁 #rubowls #cmontheunion

[Railway Union Bowling Club @RailwayUnionBC]

Tough time for us the week just gone. The 1sts went down 1-6 in St. James's Gate yesterday, and the 2nds struggled out in Aer Lingus last Monday and lost 0-5 (always so hard to get points there). But on an upbeat note - it's a BANK HOLIDAY tomorrow!!! YAY😁 #cmontheunion #rubowls

Great result for the 1st team in ILBA Sat Division 1 this afternoon in Clontarf with a 5.5 to 1.5 point victory. Squeaked over the line by half a shot overall, which shows once again that *every* shot counts in lawn bowls. COME ON THE UNION!!!!! #rubc #cmontheunion #rubowls

[Railway Union Bowling Club @RailwayUnionBC]

Great 5-1 win for the 2nd team at home tonight against Ierne, after a big 7-0 win for the 1sts on Saturday against Westmanstown. Some very strong performances - and still no rain. It can't last (the lack of rain, not the great wins 😀). COME ON THE UNION!!!!! #rubc #cmontheunion

BLI DIV1 Result: Kenilworth-5, RUBC-2. We lost out in the winner stays up match this afternoon, but it was an excellent performance by all rinks and we had our best ever Div 1 performance in Kenilworth. We'll be back real soon, Div 1, stronger and better :-) #RUBowls

[Railway Union Bowling Club @RailwayUnionBC]

DIV1 RESULT: RUBC-1, Crumlin-6. Very good try by the lads today-up in three rinks with four ends to go but couldn't maintain it. Great hope for the future though #RUBowls

CONGRATULATIONS to Billy, Derek, Carrick and Adam on reaching the final of the BLI Senior Fours Sixsmith Cup tonight. A significant achievement for the lads and the club. COME ON THE UNION!!!!! #RUBowls
