Warwick Bowls Club

WELL, the old fellas did it again in the S/S Fours, the supper veteran team of R Bone/ K Cunning/ C Johnson/ H Gibson defeated D Buchbach/ D Christensen/ M O’Leary/ P Collis 16-15 after another very close game.
They will go into the finals next Saturday against W Tucker/ B Black/ D Warr/ I Campbell.
The club carnival advertised for Sunday 8 December had to be abandoned because of lack of teams, we are sorry if this caused any inconvenience to any of our visiting bowlers.
Congratulations to Triples team of Wayne Tucker/ John Simpson/ Darren Rabbit who won through to the finals of the District Triples, only to be beaten on the last end by Frank Taylor’s team from the Summit.
