Missed out on title by one shot!
Sue and Jim Feeley did the club proud by reaching the Final of the inaugural County Aussie Mixed Pairs, narrowly losing to Carterton by one shot.
This was a sterling effort, as by this point they’d played 45 ends of bowls that day!
Great effort guys, well done

President’s Day
President’s Day raises £582 for Cancer Research Uk
Club President, Adrian Nicklen, would like to thank everyone who supported this event & helped raise this fabulous sum.
Thanks to Adrian and his family too, for arranging such a splendid day.
Support our Men’s Team
Two opportunities to support our men’s team this week.
- Thursday 17th July, a must win league game at home, against West Witney. A win should see them stay in Division One next season.
- Friday 18th July sees the first round of the Hawker Cup, where one rink is played at home and simultaneously one rink is played away. Kidlington are drawn against City & County ‘A’ so you could support at either venue.
Congratulations Boys!
So pleased to report that Paul McGrath and Jim Feeley beat Thatcham 5-18 to win the Berkshire/Oxfordshire Final of the National Senior Pairs.
They will now meet the Wiltshire winners on a neutral green by the end of July.
