☀️ MONDAY NIGHT TRIPLES ☀️

Our A & B teams are at home tonight.
Why not come along and support them!

On a blisteringly hot day, and after weeks of hassling bowlers and clubs around the county, we were finally able to fill all places for our 2026 Hunter Tredwell Gala.
Congratulations to winners Matt Charlesworth and Jamie Hampton from KBC and Lawrence Martin from Carlsberg. Great playing guys.
In second place were Kingsthorpe duo Denis Hardy and Lee Pilkington together with Tim Dawkins from West End.
In the 3rd and 4th place match, the KBC team of Mick Spear, Andrew Manton and Vernon Gearey beat the Earls Barton team of Kevin Ragbir, Mark Barber and David Knight.
Massive thanks to everyone who supported this event and particularly those players who answered the call to fill the places at short notice.
Thanks to all the organisers who have worked tirelessly to run the event and to the helpers on the day. and to everyone who provided raffle prizes.
And finally, a HUGE thank you to our sponsors for the day, who, just as they did last year, helped us raise money for the club and our chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support
