Kerang ladies

Drawn pairs were played last Friday in extremely windy conditions.

Our victors were Robyn Gilbert and Carmel Adams. Congratulations to you both on a game well played.

Well bowlers, you did yourselves proud, with the weather being what it was, cold,wet and windy, then changing to this hot blast, which makes playing good bowls all the more challenging.
