THe 3rd/4th play off was again close with Epsom taking the game with a weighted final shot to secure a 2 shot win.
Thanks to all the RBC players who participated yesterday and in our round robin campaign and to Rob Hobart for the organisation this year.
VICTORY FOR RBC IN FRANK HALL TOURNAMENT
On Saturday 2nd March at Donyngs Indoor Bowling Club, two RBC Fours competed against 16 other teams. The Redhill B team of Paul Eales, Gill Jarrett, John Kujawski & Darren Rosser won all their round robin games. After beating Purley Bury in the semi-final they then secured the trophy beating Banstead Neville (who had beaten Croydon MO in their semi) by the stunning score of 15-1. More than 30 ends were played over the morning and afternoon.
In their round robin games Redhill A (Phil Deighton, Ken Ede, Ann Pannell & Brian Edward Styles) won 2 of their 3 games including a memorable 7-5 win over Chipstead – last year’s winners – and finished 4th in their group.
So very well done to both teams on their performances in a long day of competition against some of the best clubs in our area.
