Club championships continue to progress steadily with two games of pairs being played since last reported, the first on Saturday June 13 between Glenn Woodford, Hugh Montgomery and Joe Linton, Margaret Linton with the Woodford team taking out the win.

Thursday club bowls saw the second game played on rink Four (4) between Alex Bojack, Mick McCloskey against Nevil Webb, Betty Webb. This encounter turned out to be a cliff hanger with the Webb team leading for most of the game only to be beaten by one shot on the last end. The performance by both Nevil and Betty was something again that most would not have expected. Congratulations to both winning teams who can now prepare for their next opponents.
