Neale and Shelley triumph in novice singles
The Kingfisher Bowling Association’s men’s and women’s novice singles reached its conclusion last weekend, with the semi-finals and finals being played at Riverside Sports Club.
The tournament, which attracted 74 entries, had to be postponed from its original date because several of the host clubs suffered damage during April’s deluge.
