Section 6 Finals – Sunday 4th August 2024

We were proud to host the Section 6 Ladies Finals and what a day it was. Superb bowling by all competitors. Lovely to see so many spectators as well. With thanks to all those who worked so hard to make the day a success – the Green Manager & Team, the Catering & Bar Team, the Responsible Person and Markers and of course Denise Clarke for ensuring the day ran well. Apologies if anyone has been missed but your input is always appreciated.
Well done to the winners and commiserations to those who didn’t win but you all did so well to get so far
