The forecast was that the rain was to stay away today but, alas that was not the case and players competing in the first round of the Club Championship Triples competition had some tough conditions to contend with as intermittent showers marred their game.

It was to be a close contest as it went down to the last bowl on the last end.

The team of; Barry Drayton, Doug Andrews and Ron Webster won that to edge out; Rob Young, Gary Wynne and Stewart Sturrock 20-17.
