Team Malaga v Team Almeria
Played at: Lauro Golf Bowls Club, Alhaurin de la Torre, Malaga, Spain over 2nd and 3rd of October 2026
Introduction: The format for this competition was based on the World Bowls Federation Outdoor Bowls model. Known as the World Outdoor Bowls Championships, first held in 1966, it features teams representing national and regional organizations. In Spain only players who are officially residents of the relevant match regions are eligible to play for their respective teams.
Competitors play in four specific disciplines: singles, pairs, triples, and fours making it a particularly demanding set of different bowling skills. In this case, Malaga and Almeria each had two five-person teams in both men’s and women’s categories making it twenty players in all with each team also having three reserves. Matches were played over two days in both morning and afternoon sessions between opposing 5-player teams under the supervision of two umpires.
Match details: All matches were scored as follows : two points for a win, one point for a draw and zero points for a loss. The winning teams (both men and women) were the ones who scored the most points across all matches when the tournament was concluded.
Many congratulations are due to the overall winners who were Team Malaga.
