Monday 16th and afternoon games are not our favourite time to play but our Explorers visit to Greenlands Chestnuts proved very beneficial we came away with 10 points and a shot difference of 91-61 in our favour.

I would just like to congratulate our top trip which proved to be our ladies Kath Manning, Wendy Latham and Margaret Finlayson with a 23-10 win. In the morning our Pathfinders were at home to the high flying Country Bowls Flamingoes who unfortunately proved their worth by winning 9-3.

Our thanks go to John & Lorita Rae ably supported by Trevor Stemp with a 19-30 win, and to Irene Mangam (welcome back), Paul Tregoing, and Garth Slater for their 15-15 draw. The overall shots were 65-96 in the Flamingoes favour.

Friday 20th and it was the Seagulls turn to have a bye, and in the morning our Sharks were at home to Greenlands Cedars with exactly the same result as Monday's a fine win 10-2. Well done Tom's crew a very successful week.
