IN the only club competition reported for the week at Wanderers Bowling Club, Joan Bruce, recently back from a month’s holiday and her partner Val McCaffrey, won the women’s drawn pairs playing against Louisa McGlynn and Chantal Hearnshaw.
The score was 29-12.
On Sunday, 29 August, the Moth tournament known as the ‘Jackie Bollaert’ took place at Durban Wanderers and attracted a full house of three greens, 42 teams or 168 players. Congratulations must be extended to Lofty Cawthorne and his team of helpers for packing the greens and making up teams where there were shortfalls. Three games were played in all – two 10 end games and a final one of 12 ends.
