BOWLS AND BBQ TO BBQ AND BINGO
A damp green saw the combined Southern Cross/Warwick Friday night bowls competition at Warwick, become Bingo and Barbie instead of Barbie and Bowls.
However social bowls were played at the Cross on Sunday with teams playing triples.
The winners played winners and losers played losers after 10 ends. The overall winner with the highest score was the team made of Barry Frame, Peter Ridgewell and Dave Scotney. Well played boys.
