Joan Costello Memorial Triples

Friday 22 saw a full green of 16 Ladies triples teams from 6 clubs play in mostly fine conditions. The rain coats were put on a couple of times but didn't dampen the spirits of the hardy bowlers. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the company on the greens.

2nd Joan, Julianne & Sue W, Northern
3rd = L Elphick, Betty Parker & Tania, Takaro

Great Effort by Ray Lovie:
