CA CUP AND NWF LEAGUE MATCHES

Saturday
14th June: Bowdon beat Nottingham 5-2 at
home in the Quarter Final of the Secretary's
Shield (CA National Knockout Competition)
Barry Keen (Capt.)
Adam Swinton
Dave Holland
Graham Good
Only the winner
of each Federation's Handicap League is allowed
to play in the Secretary's Shield so this is the
first time we have played in the competition
since 2003 when we lost in the final to
Tyneside, having won it the previous year.
Nottingham brought James Death with them, a
player involved in the recent MacRob team who is
highly talented, using the 'pen' grip... and has
often been seen playing with his mallet in one
hand and a pint of beer in the other!
And NOW, by

doubles, by clicking
