Huge congratulations to the Lyme Regis Bowling Club Ladies who have won the June Culpin trophy against Blandford.

The team were: Ann Allman, Lesley Broom, Nicky Driscoll, Mary Haseman, Chris Pomeroy, Angela Rattenbury, Sue Rowe, Erica Sarson and Pam Weech. The overall victory was by eight shots.

With all the leagues now finished, it was the friendlies that were to the fore. Two tour games, against Woolston and City of Birmingham, came back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday with vastly differing results. The all male team from Woolston proved too strong for Lyme,  but saw a reversal of fortunes against the City of Birmingham. In the other two friendlies, it was a win against Severalls but a loss to Seaton.

This Sunday sees the club off to Winchester to play in one of the highlight games of the season.
