LEAGUE HAS BEGUN!
We started our season this past Saturday with both our men’s and ladies teams playing at home. The men went up against Howick Bowling Club with one team finishing 11 - 26 down and the other finishing 19 - 10 up, resulting in 4.5 points overall. Our ladies took on Hilton Bowling Club with one team finishing 22 – 15 down and the other 28 – 20 up to finish on 7 points overall. It was fantastic to see some of our newer players experience league games for the first time and we’re very proud off all our players efforts.
This coming Saturday the men will be playing against Wartburg on their home turf, whilst the ladies will be taking on Maritzburg West on our home greens; definitely some great games to watch!
Last week also saw our monthly Halfway Toyota competition being played on Wednesday afternoon. We had a nice turnout for the competition and congratulations go to Alan Willey, Kevin Palmer and Julia Strachan who came first, followed by Malcolm Tait and Londiwe Mvelase. Well done to all who participated, and thank you to our sponsors!
