Yesterday seen our first finals single hand competition of the season. It was a family affair in the Welfare Final, father vs son, Peter vs David.
After a close game it all came down to 1 shot in the end and father was victorious. They both face each other again in our Presidents 2 bowl in September.
Thank you to Gilmerton Miners Welfare & Social Club (Yvonne pictured) for sponsoring the competition every year and for their continued support over the years.
Thank you to JP once again for facilitating.
Thank you the bar staff and kitchen staff for keeping us well watered and fed.

It wasn’t to be yesterday at finals day for CISWO Midlothian Miners League Knockout. The ladies triple was beaten by a cm in the last end, would’ve been easier if it was a foot. Never mind always next year. Congratulations to all the winners and well done to Bilston Bowling Club for hosting and to Isabel Brown and Callum More for running a great day.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.
