WARWICK EAST BOWLS
WARWICK East’s Open Triples for October were played Thursday 1 October, the first event with the newly increased prize values. A good turnout saw the required 10 teams competing. It was nearly 12 teams but unfortunately one team was one player short and no additional player was available, therefore two teams sat out the event this time. Let’s hope for a full green on the 29 October for the Red Rooster Triples where the big prizes will be on offer again and the jackpot increases.
