MIDGlos Indoor Bowls Club are once again announcing themselves on the national stage.
Since relocating in 2000 from the Bentham domes to Brockworth, MidGlos have never looked back and have enjoyed a lot of success, notably when the under-25s became club national champions in 2005.
This season MidGlos are currently enjoying a winning streak in the men's, ladies and junior championships.
The ladies have booked themselves into the national quarter-finals of the Yetton Trophy.
They had to play Kingsthorpe from Northampton and managed to progress into the last eight with a convincing 79-54 overall victory.
Representing MidGlos at home, the rink of Myra Savage won 14-12 and the rink skipped by Margaret Stalley had an emphatic 25-9 victory.
Away and playing at the same time as per competition rules, Gill Fry's rink just slipped to a 17-18 defeat whilst Pauline Gunn and her rink won 23-15.
They will now face Desborough on February 14.
The men's equivalent competition is called The Denny Cup.
MidGlos were beaten in the first round proper back in October, but as first round losers they went into the Plate format and have battled their way through to the last eight.
MidGlos team manager Rob Griffiths said: "We lost in the final of this before by just one shot, so it would be nice to go all the way this time."
MidGlos will now face a strong Essex team in the quarter-final, again to be played on February 14.
The previous round saw them beat Weston St Andrews 84-75 overall.
The men's team of 16 players has five players under-21 years-old and this, mixed with a wealth of experience is proving a deadly combination.
One of MidGlos' young stars of the future, Ben Coldrick, 17, has also been enjoying national success and has booked his place in the national U18 singles last 16.
Coldrick defeated Warwickshire's Matt Smith 2-1 after a tie break. The format for this competition is the same as the World Indoor Championships.
Coldrick will now face Harry Goodwin from Devon.
