Despite our teams bowling through to the Post Sectional Finals most years, this is the first time we have won a flag in 11 years. This makes 7 Pennant flags “under our belt”, TGWBC won their first flag 32 years ago (1992) that was a Grade 4 team, the next another Grade 4 in 2005, then Grade 3 and 4 in 2007, Grade 2 in 2011 and Grade 3 in 2013.
