Well done to the Cary Parkers – Runners Up
Just a few of the Cary Parker’s were able to make it to the Steve Hayward Short Mat Presentation on Friday the 5th April due to various unseen problems. But a very happy ‘Team’ to have become this seasons runners-up in the league. The Cary Parkers were awarded the medals by the late Steve Hayward’s son Russel followed by a wonderful buffet with music by singer Paul Johnson (also a member of Babbacombe Bowls Club). A wonderful conclusion for an friendly but competitive season of Short Mat
Well done to all !
