A good crowd of 36 players came to bowls on Tuesday. With no prizes on offer we were able to enjoy one another’s company and try some more ambitious shots. All good fun. Thursday saw some of our league players practising for the weekend’s matches. Although rain cut the session short we managed to try out a few new team selections.The Artisan’s Roll on Wednesday was won by Chris Purchase, Fred Palmer and Neil Tainton. In second place were John Arnott, Anton Leisegang and Tony Barrington.
Lucky prize winners were Trevor Spring, Ian Fyvie and John Aubrey. Artisan’s and Ninos have been more than generous in their sponsorship for our competitions and we encourage our members to patronise these establishments.
The league game on Saturday were threatened by gathering clouds and some light rain but it cleared up and we could complete all the games. At home the second league team met Collegians. After close competition Collegians collected 7.5 points to Hilton’s 5.5. The thirds travelled to Richmond and went down 2-11.
The first round of league ends this coming weekend with the second team going to Maritzburg West while the thirds host Umgeni Waterfall.
