A SEXTET of bowlers were amongst those to play for Newton Abbot against Devon Patrons, despite also being patrons themselves.

They are pictured, from left to right: Jane Otieno, Catherine Pickett, Dave Pickett, Ken Howard, Andy Rice and Chris Hallwood.

Meanwhile, what a magnificent season the men’s C-team had, finishing on 131 points in the MDL Division Four. Currently, they remain in position for promotion.

In the South Devon over 55 Triples League X Division, Newton’s men are in the driving seat at the summit, ahead of Starcross via shot difference. Two games remain to hang on to top spot.

Good luck to all everyone in action on finals weekend, coming up on August 30 and 31, all support from those not involved will be very welcome.

Finally, the club will be welcoming tourist teams from Llantrisant in Wales on August 29, Bedford on September 1 and then Bowls Devon Presidents on September 2.
