Better Quakers than the football team!!!!
The lads did our club proud once again the Quaker Bowl Triples.
Barry Hopkins, Barry Hopkins Jnr & John Smith got to the final after a long day of bowling and were pipped at the last post by a usually lucky Hundens team skipped by Mick Baines. Even the green pegs were changed to give the home side a better chance!
Never mind, we don’t need to cheat to win!! - only joking well done to the Hundens lads and buy us all a pint with your winnings!
Our Website Manager made his debut on Friday night in the Town Rink Triples (thrown in at the deep end!)
Quote “It was all kinds of scary”, however he did play very well for a beginner and we were in the lead twice against a Bishop Auckland trio skipped by Michael Walker.
If Scott & Bill Morland had been on their game we probably would have beaten them as it wasn’t a high standard match.
I’m sure Andy Bell will prove to be a dark horse in the weekends fun event as signs of confidence started to show towards the end.
Also we were please to see Simon Brodie coming down for a roll up, he is playing in the fun event on Sunday and looked a far better player than he was when he played for us back in 1996!!
