Wednesday January 22nd saw the Newark Castle and Retford clubs meet in the first round of the District 1220 Ten-Pin Bowling Competition.
The Castle team comprising: David Nicholson, Roger Pykett, Alan Redfern, Derek Rossin and Dave Strange, arranged to meet the Retford team at the Newark Superbowl, ready to start their two games at 8pm.
The total of the best four scores from each team were compared:
Retford 278, 262, 247, 208
Total 995
Newark Castle 319, 236, 200, 190
Total 945
A win to Retford by 50.
We found the Retford team, last year’s competition winners, really sociable. The evening was thoroughly enjoyable and full of fun.
A special thank you to Alan who played a blinder and only a few hours later had to drive off to the airport on holiday.
My thanks to all who represented the club.
