On Saturday 20th September at Raploch BC, our junior triples team were victorious in the invitational tournament. Ryan Cherrie (skip), Andrew Pattie and Dominic Cherrie managed to win £25 each and we would like to extend our congratulations to them on their fantastic success.
In addition, the bowling club (and Juniors in particular!) would like to thank Dennis Leary and family for their donation of the Table Tennis set. You never know, we may have some London 2012 ping pong players in our midst (since bowls isn’t in the Olympics of course)!!!
