HANTS AND BERKS FINAL AT OAKLEY

On Sunday morning Oakley BC, whose Bob Goodyear is the District President, hosted the BDBA Hants and Berks Cup final between Alton Social and Old Basing. The latter were very much the underdogs, against a club that over the last few years has attracted many quality players to join them, but at 14 ends Basing led by 6 shots and at 18 ends only 2 shots separated the teams. Eventually, however, Social's greater experience told and they emerged victorious by 69 shots to 58. Both teams bowled well and for the spectators it was an exciting and nail biting experience. Thanks go to Bob and the Oakley members who admiinistered the event with a particular thank you to John Y and Ted who, gave up their Saturday sfternoon, to cut and prepare the green ready for this morning's play.
