Night Owls season wraps up

Millicent Bowling Club holds a presentation night for its Wednesday night bowlers

What a season for Millicent Night Owls where the competition did not miss one night through bad weather. The Night Owls competition had some great matches this year with some great results. The new young bowlers have greatly improved and will soon be giving our best performing players some stiff competition.

One of top teams, the Rovers, have won five competitions in a row so are needing some stronger competition against them. Congratulations for this magnificent effort.

The new season starts on Wednesday, October 18, with two practice nights and Round 1 commencing on November 1. So if you have any change of names or are putting a new team in or not playing next season please ring Ella Pietersma (Night Owls Co-Ordinator) on 0417 872 317.

Touches: Ralph Domenchez (Lions Roar) 3, Graham Watson (Bits & Pieces) 3, Jim Hyland (Mossies) 3, Nigel Ross (Acky’s Owls) 3, Jamie Veering (Grand Hotel) 3.
