HAYES BC

IT WAS mixed fortunes for the French family's Hayes Bowls Club debut against Metropolitan Police this week.

While Barry French was part of a team which lost 21-10 in the opening rink, Theresa helped reduce the arrears with a 16-14 triumph in rink two with S Wilson, K Smith and J Ashton.

However, that was as good as it got for Hayes, and despite H Booth, I Grant, B Belcher and K Smith drawing 19-19, they lost the other three rinks on their way to a 131-93 reverse

COURT PARK BC

COURT Park Bowls Club swept aside Yiewsley 53-49 after recovering from a poor start.

MILL BC
