Saturday saw Team 1 play Ferntree Gully 2 at FTG on another very quick green. Finally the sun was out after a very wet start to the season and we were out to enjoy the day.
Colin Lowe’s team were neck and neck all day and held their composure to draw the match.
Robyn Turville was given B.O.G for the day with a superb display of bowling on a very slick green to give John Clark’s team a win for the day but unfortunately FTG won overall 67 – 82
