This team has a number of first year players who are developing beautifully as the year progresses.
A special mention goes to Doug Chessum and his team of champs including Daryl Richmond, Jan Corboy and first year, first competition gamer Brian Pearson for scoring an ‘8’ on the last end.
A mighty achievement as many bowlers play their whole career without doing so.
An ‘8’ badge will be presented to the team at a later date and they are sure to wear it with pride. Congratulations.
