Among the three visitors who played with us on Tuesday was one from Sydney in Australia who reiterated what we have heard from others who have played down-under. The greens there are like lightning compared to ours. The visitors however enjoyed their afternoon with us and we look forward to seeing more bowlers coming to share time with us in Hilton.
Lister and Lister donated chickens for the winners on Thursday, who were Chris Purchase, Dave Hammond and Judie Ashmole. Jean Pluke won a box of chocolates for scoring six touchers. Well done and thanks to Richard.
Rain on Friday seemed to threaten play on Saturday, but by 11:00 the sun had appeared and players began to arrive. The men's fourth league team played their last match of the season against Umgeni Waterfall. Chris Lake and his team won by 16 shots, while the other team lost by two. This meant that Hilton won the match.
