Pictured with President Dorothy Boatfield are two of Urunga's most experienced bowlers who played the final of the Major Singles on Tuesday 8 June when Lilian Mann, a former club champion, met new member Ann Pilkington who transferred from Nambucca Heads recently. Both players put down some magnificent bowls and were neck and neck at 19 all when Ann forged ahead and won the match 31/21. Both players are to be congratulated on bowls that were worthy of the Club Championship.
