Although it’s the Bank Holiday our talented pair, Yvonne and Dave, played in the Bowls England preliminary round of the Wiltshire section of the mixed pairs at Calne tonight, their challengers were Chippenham Park- Keith Hitchens/Beccy Gale. It was a cool evening but both sides were well supported with over 20 people watching, some great bowling and with the match standing at 15-15 on the 17th end, the last end proved exciting with Keith and Beccy edging it by 1 shot to win 16-15, we wish the Chippenham Park duo all the best in the next round and now look forward to next year.

The week ended with a home Friendly on Saturday against Malmesbury, the weather was fine with a slight breeze and it was a great game with lots of friendly banter – the final result really did not matter but at 75-75 it was a fair result all round. The afternoon finished with a very nice tea with home made cakes, sausage rolls and plenty of sandwiches.
