THE Farnham & District Bowling Association finals day took place at Farnborough Bowling Club.
Farnborough BC kindly ‘loaned’ their green, although Rowledge were responsible for running the day and providing catering.
The weather was perfect and enhanced a day much enjoyed by players and spectators. There were some very close-fought matches, including the Goolding Cup for two rinks, which was contested by Rowledge, the 2017 winners, and Farnham BC. Rowledge ran out winners for a second year.
Rowledge were also represented in the mixed pairs by Mehdi Akkouh and Lizzie Lunn who finished runners-up to David Sheppard and Sandy Harris of Bourne BC.
A raffle raised £100 for the president’s charity, the Motor Neurone Association.
Next year, the presidency will be held by Seale & Sands BC.
