G Day and welcome to this weeks news from the Bowlie,
The big news of the week was the great win by our Triples team of, Mick Went, Graham Barby and Col Hayward, in the District Triples at Forbes, It was a great game to watch,as our cheer squad of four Barracked the boys home, Col Hayward showed why he is one of the best bowlers in the district, as several times he got the team out of trouble with his last bowl, one end, down 5, he drew the absolute winner to go one up, much to the delight of the fab four, and dismay to the 30 odd Forbes fans, well done team.
