Leading 11 - 5 after eight ends, Breed looked all but home however, Collard had other ideas winning twelve of the next sixteen ends to run out a comfortable winner and move into the next round.

The Club will be holding a "Come and Have A Go" day at the Soldier's greens starting at 12 noon on Monday, June 13. Bowlers of all ages are encouraged to come along with experienced bowlers in attendance to offer tutoring to any newcomers.
