October 2022 Indoor Bowls Update
Monday 3 Oct, 2022
Hi members, the months seem to be disappearing very quickly.
Hornby members are still being very successful in various events.
Bush Kennedy – Runner-up in which we had two teams consisting of Mike King, Dave and Blair Woods and Alister Graham and Dave Bullock, Justin Thompson, James Aldridge and Greg Hill.
The Philpott 3 Fives that was played at the CIBA over five weeks and was to be completed in May, but due to the passing of David Philpott, who was the sponsor and organizer of this event, it was postponed and eventually completed at the end of July.
The eventual winners were a team from Hornby who consisted of Mike King, Julie Dalley and Bev Diamond. Great effort – Bev had to be subbed a few times due to circumstances at the time.
Club Championship Results: –
