The final of the Men's Nominated Pairs Competition on Thursday ended in a win for Barry Best and Colin Watson after a very close game against Chris Purchase and Fred Palmer. The match was settled with the very last bowl. Congratulations to our new champions.
We have had very good attendances this last week with fields of up to 42 players putting in their tabs.
The Chicken Run on Saturday was won by Jean Pluke, Olga Hutt and Pat Bennet. Sincere thanks to the management of Hilton Quarry Spar for donating the chickens.
Due to a technical hitch last week our report did not reach Village Talk in time and so the outcome of the Harry Cooper Cup competition was lost in cyberspace. Winners were Tom Hartley, John Pluke and Pat Bennet. Chris Purchase, Des Morrish and Arthur Daugherty came second. Fred Palmer, Janet Fairhurst and Basil Fann were the winners of the losers. Well done to all the winners and sincere thanks to Hilton Quarry Super Spar for providing prizes and a wonderful lunch.
