WOMEN’S
WEDNESDAY morning we had a good roll up of 14 teams which came to play in our annual charity day tournament.
Visitors from Yass, Gundagai and Temora joined clubs from within our own district.
We played two games of 12 ends each, with the team from Harden winning with the highest score for the day.
A big thank you to all our sponsors for the generous donations of money and gifts.
Our charity this year was the Cootamundra nursing home auxiliary, which received $1500.
Due to heavy rain Friday overnight our green was too wet for Saturday bowls.
