Frankly Speaking 12/8/18
The evenings are closing in as the season approaches the last few weeks. The week just gone was one of contrasting fortunes for Bray Bowling Club. First of all, congrats to Phyllis Brett and Breeda Keogh both of whom represented the LBLI in the annual inter association series in Belfast. Both Phyllis and Breeda were picked as "skips". The LBLI finished second in the competition. On Monday last our Divisision 4 team travelled to CYM and came up against a red hot home team who were far too strong on the night. Wednesday saw our Ladies at home to Skerries and the visitors from North County Dublin left Bray with 6 points. Also on Wednesday last the Division 6 team continued their recent good run with a 4/0 victory at home to Kenilworth and Alan Rath made a welcome return to action. Thursday saw Vets 1 travel to Westmanstown and in a ding-dong battle they brought home 3 points courtesy of a 1 shot victory. Saturday last saw two great victories for Division 1 and 2. Division 1 defeated mighty St. James's Gate 5/2 at home and Division 2 had a great 5/2 victory away to Crumlin where Stephen Morris led his rink impressively. [And not forgetting the successful rink you skipped, Frank - Ed.]
This coming week the ladies have a week off due to the LBLI Championships in CYM. Once again best wishes to the Bray representatives - Phyllis Brett, Patsy Donnelly, Jean Kane and Marge O'Leary. Vets 1 are in action this Thursday at home to St. James's Gate. Saturday has Division 1 away to Leinster and Division 2 at home to St. James's Gate. Monday 20th sees Division 4 make the long trek to play Aer Lingus. The club championships are in the closing stages and one of the features this year is the emergence of some of the newer members with Peter Gough, Niall Shelley and Pat Brosnan among those to make their mark. The winner of the lotto this week was Betty Keogh.
