Brampton Match Result

The good news was that after the first four games we were two up with two wins and two halves.

Then it all went down hill with four losses so the final result was 5 - 3 to Brampton. At least the weather and meals were fine.

Joe asks me to remind everyone that the sheets for our away matches at Powfoot and Workington on the 12th and 19th July respectively are on the notice board for entries.

Apologies

I was so knackered last night I forgot to thank Roy Williams for his generosity at the 19th to celebrate today's significant birthday.

Tom Borthwick's 18 credits gave him first prize of £15 in our monthly competition and I accumulated 17 credits for second place £10.

Advice for our Brampton team that there are 4 way traffic lights at Warwick Bridge so travel via the Carlisle west bypass is recommended

Walters Cup Result

Tom Borthwick and Joe Holmes were well matched and returned a winning greensomes score of 39 points.
