The first annual open shortmat bowls competition was played at the Aberporth village hall in aid of the local RLNI. Teams travelled from a number of southern counties to support the competition.

The 2018 winners were young Welsh international Ffion Jones and Gavin Mathews.

The competition organiser Mr Andre Bann, also chairman of the Aberporth Short Mat club, thanked everyone for all their effort and support to make it a resounding and memorable day.
