The midweek fours competition at the Clifton bowls club was another event to fall foul of the weather last week with the event cancelled due to local flooding.
Fortunately, it was not a lengthy disruption and bowlers were back on the green for Thursday Night Bowls and there was a good crowd.
The winners of winners were the Untouchables, Jade, Mick and Jeremy who had an 11-5 win over Unsalted Peanuts (Gordon, Hazel and Jack). Unsalted picked up the winners of losers prize which eased the disappointment of their loss.
In other results Ben and Andy 20 had a very convincing 20-4 win over Braydon and Trevor.; Rock n Bowlers danced their way to a 13-8 win over Holey Rollers 8. The Bowling Stones proved too good on the night for the Daley Rural team winning 10- 7. Indestructables 17 Julie, Heather and Colin has no answers and were rolled by the Indestructables 17-7
