Frankly Speaking, December 2019
The season of Goodwill is fast approaching and the good people of Bray Bowling Club have been keeping themselves busy since the summer season ended last September. First off we had the commencement of the traditional Wednesday League under the guidance of Phyllis Brett, Brendan Duffy and Eddie Kelly. With 1 week to go John Reynolds leads the way and is looking good for first place (again !!!). November was the time for the various AGM's and Terri McKeon was elected as the Lady Captain for 2020 and Tommy Murphy was elected the Men's Captain for 2020. We wish them both well in the task ahead and remember that change is always welcome. The AGM saw Aidan Galvin, Tiernan Kavanagh and Frank Devlin re-elected to the positions of President, Treasurer and Secretary respectively.
The club entered 3 teams in the All Weather Bowling League. This is a mixed 3 rinks competition held between October and March. Bray are the current holders and Team "A" are currently in second place in their group with 6 games to go. Team "B" are in fourth place in their section and Team "C" also occupy fourth place. Here is hoping one of the teams advances to the next stage. Peter Gough is the club entrant to the AWBL Champion of Champion Singles Competition and he has been drawn away to an opponent from Aer Lingus. Best of luck, Peter. The club is celebrating Christmas this coming Friday 20th December at the club house where the Wednesday League Presentation will take place along with the Vets 3 Medal Presentation and the traditional Xmas Quiz. By the way the club house is looking well with its new front door and windows so all the hot air generated cannot escape!! Happy Christmas to all bowlers and their families.
