Brentwood Bowling Club welcomed Great Wakering for a friendly on Saturday 19th September when there was double cause for celebration … not only did the sun make a long-awaited appearance but homemade cakes were on the interval menu!

IN THE LEAD: Brentwood’s Patrick Miller on the mat for the 16th end, watched by Joan Stevenson.

As with all friendlies, the final score was not important but there was no hiding the hosts’ delight in winning on all three rinks.

Brentwood ladies’ captain Margaret Rayment welcomed the visitors and hoped that a return vist to Great Wakering might be possible next season.

Teams: Keith Howson, Ken Collins, Barbara Morrish; Paul Harrison, Ann Powell, Margaret Rayment; Patrick Miller, Joan Stevenson, Kate Davies.

TEA BREAK: Players enjoyed tea and homemade cakes at the interval.
