Maree Crees and Christy Colley got off to a wobbly start. It didn’t take long for Maree to find her form and start scoring. Christy fighting to score but to no avail, managed to get into double figures before Maree swooped in for the win. Final score was 25 - 13.

The games commence at 1.30pm each Monday after the cards are called at 1.15pm and conclude at 4.30pm when the game winner is announced. There is a break halfway in the afternoon for a short break. Players are of various ages and from all walks of life. If you are new to bowls, we can also arrange for instruction on the basics of the game to be provided and club bowls made available for your use. We look forward to meeting you in the near future.
