Yesterday we held our Balloted Triples Competition which was a great day throughout, plenty good bowls on show & plenty money raised via the bar & raffle. Most games were very tight across the green showing the format was a success in trying to balance out the new & experienced bowlers across the teams!

After tightly contested group games, the Semi-Finalists were:

SF1: Dave Hendry, Sophie Sands & Scott Wilson v Jean Campbell, Stuart Beresford & Madge McGeouch

SF2: Pete Brannan, Neil MacGregor & Colin Wood v Susan Hendry, Catherine Murdoch & Fraser Grant.

The final saw Scott Wilson's team v Fraser Grant's team, with Fraser's team taking an early lead which saw them through to victory - well done to Susan, Catherine & Fraser!

Our next all day competition is the Harris Open Pairs on 25th July, followed by the 1st Club Aussie Pairs towards the end of the season.

Huge thank you to Celtic Distractions for what was a brilliant night. Large amounts of fun had by all!!
