G'Day, and welcome to this weeks news from the Bowlie.
ZONE TRIPLES.
Our team of Tom Casey, Mick Went and Flip Fleidner represented our Club at Coonabarabran in the Zone 4 Triples. After a tough lead up game they went into the Final against a powerfull Nyngan Team but unfortunately lady luck was not on their side and they went down. However to finish runners up in the Zone Triples is a great achievement. Congratulations go to Flip and his team on a great effort.
