LADIES OVER 60’s LEAGUE
Having had a break due to Festival week and the Over 60’s Veterans Team playing away, fixture 17 was played last Thursday in very warm and humid conditions but this did not deter from some excellent bowling. Nobles ladies were once again on superb form scoring a full house at home against Mooragh Park A (126-73) with Libby Andrade and Sue Gawne for the home side winning to single figures. Two closest games saw Jo Smith and Marilyn Ellison both cross the line 21-18 against Karen McGurgan and Joy Morris.

Breagle Glen A had a good 4-2 win away against Ballaugh A (105-87) with Linda Dawson and Angela Bennett for the visitors and Michele Cubbon for the home team winning to single figures.

Another 4-2 win was by Breagle Glen C away to Mooragh Park B (108-89) with Edwina Reid and Win Collister for Breagle winning to single figures.
