Eddie would have been proud of you!
|
Earlier in the season the Bowling Club held 'The Eddie Bowes Trophy' competition. It took the form of 10 triples teams which each played five games of four ends over the afternoon. The winner was the team with the best for/against total. It was fitting that the winning team included Florence Bowes ,widow of the late Eddie, who certainly would have been very proud of her. Carol Bird skipped the winning team with Florence and Barbara Wilson.
