Saturday bowls - Saturday saw 16 bowlers play eight games of three bowl pairs where each team played two games of 12 ends. names where drawn out of a hat for teams and a great day was had by all with the results coming right down to the wire. The winning team of  Terry Hetherington and Graham Turner had two wins 18 + 12, a close second was MartyFitzpatrick and Dawn Parker with 2wins 16 +8 and the third place prize winner was Gary Phillips and Dave Law with one wins 18 + 6.Everyone was happy with the format and only suggestion for change was that we play 14 ends instead of 12.
