Wow what a weekend for ODBC!!

Today 8 of our men took part in the GBA County 2 Rink, with a win over Cam Mills in the morning it’s was a Olveston vs Cheltenham final for the 2nd day running!

Amazingly the game went to an extra end and came down to the last bowl! But the O’s got it over the line to retain the cup!

GBA double the first time in the clubs history!

Thanks for all that showed up to support us! Especially our club president Ian Curtis ❤️
