🔵🟡C&K LEAGUES🔵🟡

After a long season our members all played their part in pushing Cove towards the top of the gents, ladies, seniors and mixed leagues.

In the Gents league we had mixed fortunes, after some very tight results and members giving it their all for the club the guys dug it out and secured crucial points when it mattered most to finish 3rd in the league. We look to push on for next year and go further. 🥉

In the Ladies league the women had some great results home and away to push it right to the end, the ladies earned themselves a very well deserved 2nd place finish. An excellent result after a great year, hoping to go one step further next time round. 🥈

In the Seniors league, the oldies kept pushing throughout the year and were never far away from the top, unfortunately it wasn’t to be this year however they can hold their heads high after securing a 3rd place finish after some great bowling all season. 🥉

Last but not least, in the Mixed league, “Team A” skipped by Iain Dickie stayed within the top 2 all season and held the top spot for some time, they went into the last game needing a result for the title however it just was not to be their night after putting up a valiant effort all year. After a fantastic year they finished 2nd losing out only to shot difference. 🥈

“Team B” skipped by Craig Blenkinsop also put up some great bowling, with fantastic performances and some brilliant results, the team were unlucky not to finish higher after their display of bowling. Eventually finishing only 6 points behind the winners in what was a very tight league.

Well done to everyone who represented the club this year, we continue to show just how good we are and that we can compete on all fronts. Not bad for a small club on the peninsula 🔵🟡

🔵🟡GBA LEAGUE🔵🟡

Best of luck to the gents as they head to Cardross for the final game of the season. Hopefully we finish strong and secure a top half finish.
