This will involve 96 players playing in teams of fours and representing the old districts in Zone 8.

There will be three games played on Saturday and two games on Sunday morning.

The club’s male bowlers should check two important sheets on the notice board.

The first one is the information sheet concerning Men’s Pennants for the 2024–25 season.

The second is the flyer concerning a Men’s Pairs tournament to be played at the club on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th May.
