It was a long wait for us bowls “tragics” but it was well worth it.

The winners on the day were taken on an overall for both the grass and synthetic.

All winners were adjudged on a countback as numerous teams recorded 11 points.

The grass winners were Bill Bailey, Peter Cheney and John Slater

The synthetic grass winners were Lance Atkins, Ron Green and Greg Pearson.

24 July: The overcast day did not deter players from enjoying another day on the green.

Four lady bowlers joined with the men today to play 18 ends of Pairs.

The competition was tough although Linda Richards and “longbow” exponent Kevin Barbie gave their opponents a bit of a serve winning 23-8.

It was great to have the lady bowlers with us and the organisers are keen to see more players taking part on Fridays.
Play commences at 9.30 for a 10.00 am start.
