In the Mens Major Singles Final, Barrie Isaac won against Rocky Davis by 25-15, to claim his 9th Major Singles Title. It was a great contest, the score being 16-15 before Barrie skipped away to claim the title once more. Rocky played a great game, missing by a whisker on multiple occasions which could have changed the outcome. Congratulations to Barrie and Rocky for a great performance throughout all the games of the Major Singles.

Sadly, Peter Griffith is moving away from the area, so won’t be bowling with us much longer. Rumour has it, he was offered the half back position at the St George Dragons, but they didn’t agree on terms. Good luck Griffo, you will be missed mate.
Bob Kennett suffered a fall and has a fracture in a vertebrae. After already having back surgery this isn’t good news. Get well soon big fella, we all miss your smile and handshakes.
