The Silver Salver was played today. The Club was unfortunately hit with a few late call offs and some late adjustments were necessary before play could commence.
Ironically the winning pair were Rita Clark and John Deans who came out on top of the Round Robin format. John stepped in as a last minute substitute to enable to game to proceed in the planned format.
Congratulations to Rita and John on a day that an unusual and unexpected piece of history was made in the annals of Auchinloch Bowling Club. 🏆
