The most often asked question over recent times must have been, “When’s the new oven going to be installed?” The photo seen above is the answer – It’s been done today, thanks to Jack Wilkinson stepping in to give the club a hand. It’s all wired up and ready to go; all that is left to be done is the …
Green Work
I heard that there was going to be some work done on the cotula green this morning so I popped down, arriving just in time to see Michael Hearsey arriving with the verti-drain machine. Once in the club area, it had to be driven across the astro to the NW corner where it was manoeuvred up and over the bank …

It’s been interesting seeing some players trying out their skills with some of the old club bowls and it was evident how much …
Rob Wins
It was a long day for Rob Cotter. Having a bye in the first round, he had to wait for the winner of Joe Wnek and Jack Willis’s game to see who he had to play in the quarter final. He arrived mid-morning to find that Jack had won the game 21-16. Unfortunately, he was not feeling well and had …
