The teams usual Captain, David Holland, wasn’t available for this fixture at Bury. As such Mike Flannery stood in, the rest of the team was Charles Fraser (12), Ros Pimlot (16) and John Bagnall (16). The Bury Peelers team was David Barratt (7), Richard Leach (10), Phil Nuttall (10) and their Captain Margaret Eccles (11).
Bury Park was a first venue for most of the team and Bury made the team very welcome on a lovely day in Bury. The morning sessions saw John and Mike play David & Phil play in the doubles, to be far not a great game, Bowdon took three bisques in an attempt to run yellow through 2, with no success! David and Phil also struggled and after three hours of misery Bowdon eventually win by 8 – 5. Ros faired mush better beating Richard by 26 – 13 and Charles was a close game with Margaret winning by 2 points.
After lunch the four games were split 50:50 resulting in a 4 to 3 victory for Bowdon.
