Alan & Graham represented Bowdon in the Federation Level Play Golf at the weekend. Following some late drop outs a slightly disappointing field of 6 met at Coronation Park -one of Bury CC's many homes. What the field lacked in quantity they certainly made up for in quality and by the end of the weekend 66% were 'minus' players. Following 2 rounds of all play all Alan played Paul Rigge in one semi, whilst Graham played Pendle's Dave Widdison. In tightly fought matches both narrowly lost in games that could have gone either way. Riggey went on to beat Dave 2-0 in the final, again really close games where the score could easily have been reversed, to retain the Fed title.

As the honours between Bowdon were even at 1 all, Alan & Graham decided not to play 3rd/4th play-off, they are saving themselves for the Inter-Club match against Belsey Hall on Friday.

Brian Rust and Margaret Moss played in the Millennium Short Croquet Tournament at Chester, won by Brian Walton of Chester. The eight players all took part in 4 games; Brian and Margaret both won one game.
