It was fantastic to see the number of people that turned up to support and encourage the players in their quest for a flag. This support was truly appreciated by the players, they all agreed that it helped to lift their game.

We were all saddened by the passing of Frank Fitzmaurice, a long time and popular member of our bowling club. Our condolences to his wife Monica, and their family.
