Bowls Warkworth

The Lawrie Cup was played on Wednesday the 9th of September.
All teams were treated with great playing conditions and fierce competition.
The team of Kevin, Sue and Dave R were hitting their strides with 4 wins and 1 game to play, when they lined up and shook hands with Jackie, Hugh and Wendy who had 3 wins. Both teams knew they needed to win the game to have a chance of being in the photo and taking the Lawrie Cup home for the season. There was no room for complacency there was only room for focus. Both teams delivered some excellent shots. But Jackie's team kept the chalk busy on their side of the board with an eventual score of, points for 11 with 6 against.
Well done runners up Team Kevin and congratulation Team Jackie.
