North Broken Hill Bowling Club results

Saturday, December 7

THE heat may have arrived in the Far West but regular suspects still made their presence felt, none more so than the winning team of lead Ken Murray, second John Payne and their skip Peter Balman, at the social roll on Saturday, December 7.

The hot weather reduced numbers to 12 participants but that didn’t deter Murray, Payne and Balman, who were in fine touch.

Resting touchers were achieved by Nathan Gageler, Barry Hooker and John Payne, while Steve Cutting had the only wrong bias delivery.
