Three games are being played each of this two day event. The Mott/Hoover team managed to win each of their three games and so far lead the list with five teams on two wins each. DeBoer/Coupar, Winchcombe/Barry, the two Sharpes, Gage/Chester and the two Kellys all sit on two wins. The second day of this championship is being played on Sunday January 22nd starting at 9:15am.
Afternoon Tea. A request is made to the male bowlers to each bring a small plate of sandwiches and the ladies will bring the hot savouries. It is hoped that everyone will stay behind for some time and enjoy each other’s company.
