Many thanks to both bowlers for such a thrilling Final, a great demonstration of draw bowling by both especially under the extreme windy conditions.

Saturday 21st November: Dolphin Day and the ‘shirts v the skirts.”

Prior to bowls Noel Jackson, President of the Men’s Bowling Club spoke a few words in remembrance of past bowlers.

Unfortunately the result of the bowls game was a win to the “shirts” defeating the “skirts” 58 v 39.

Looking forward to another challenge in 2021.
