A series of victories and a hard-fought draw established them as early front-runners in the nine team bowls league. While a challenging mid-season stretch saw the club face some rare losses, their reply was a witness to their character. Not to be discouraged, they set off on a comeback, with a series of wins that propelled them back to the top of the table.
The championship was secured in a thrilling penultimate match against Worthing Pavilion Bears, where a decisive 75-43 victory earned the crucial 10 points needed to clinch the league title. With their closest rivals at the top of the table dropping points, the celebrations began. This season has been a solid team effort, with dominant home form and a collective strength that salvaged points even in difficult matches. The final home match of the season, with the title secure, was a very narrow loss 4 points to 6 with East Preston scoring 72 to Southbourne's 75.
