Well last week will have to be a ‘results only’ news column from the Grafton Services Mens Bowling Club, as ‘Wrong Bias’ has come down with a bad dose of the flu/ bronchitis and can barely stop coughing for more than ten seconds at a time! Sorry…hopefully it will leave me as quick as it arrived, and I’ll be ok this time next week.

On Saturday April 9 we were able to play four second round matches in our Club Championships ‘Major Pairs’ for 2022. Some matches had to be deferred due to some players involved currently suffering from ‘Covid’… these matches will be played as soon as the players involved are available.
