Yesterday saw some top-class bowling from our finals players, including an epic showdown in the Ladies Pairs that went down to the last bowl. Today we’ve got another full calendar of games including the Men’s and Ladies finals and the Coronation Cup. Our bar is open and there’s raffle prizes and cakes, so come down and enjoy the atmosphere and see some great games!
