ANGELA WILDSMITH from Tetbury and Gill Hodder (Stroud) have been appointed joint-managers of Gloucestershire's women's bowls team ahead of the Johns Trophy.

They will be looking to change the fortunes of the side which have turned winning positions into defeats in recent seasons.

Gloucestershire open up their Johns Trophy group matches with a trip to Taunton Deane Bowls Club on June 4 (1.30pm) to face Cornwall.
