Happy New Year to all bowlers for 2020.  A new year  and a new start, hoping we’re all refreshed and raring to go. Some necessary changes have been made to teams due to unavailability of players and returning players. Looking to strengthen teams whilst trying to maintain balance.  Good Luck to all Divisions this weekend.

Week 8, the last game before the break was a very challenging week, Division 1 just missing out on a win by 1 shot to Eaglehawk, “heartbreaking”  and Division 7 sneaking in with a 1 shot win, well done.

***  Please ensure bowlers that you have the new Golden Square bowls stickers these are to be used this week onwards!

If you don’t have a set please make sure you speak with your side captain if not please come and see the Chairman of Selectors.
