Friday Wapinschaw

Robert Clark, club president, writes: Vice president Tommy Ball welcomed a turnout of 18 members to the Friday Wapinschaw on the Beith green. The winners were the triple of Brian Thompson (lead), Derek Logue (second) and Jim McFadzean(skip).

The Ayrshire Cup is always an important date on the Ayrshire bowling calendar, and took place on Saturday last with clubs travelling all over Ayrshire. The visitors to Beith Bowling Club were Troon Portland, Rankinston, Irvine Fullarton and New Cumnock bowling clubs.

President R F Clark welcomed everyone and said that he hoped they would enjoy their day’s bowling and greet some old friends and make new friends.

After playing 21 ends in sweltering weather, apparently a good excuse, if one were needed, to retire inside for a cool beer every few ends. The result was Beith won two lost one and drew one, they also had a superior shot advantage of plus 17. After a great day of bowling all visitors expressed their thanks to the ladies who provided a first class buffet; Angela for her sterling work behind the bar; well deserved plaudits for the green and green keeper and everyone at the club for their hospitality.

Kilbirnie were the visitors for the final league game of the season. Kilbirnie required at least 5 points to win the league. They were able to achieve this by winning 3 games out of 4 with a higher shot advantage thus scoring an 8 points to 2 win. Congratulations to everyone at Kilbirnie BC on their success.

The Beith committee and members would like to congratulate the ladies triple from Dalry who won their district final and now will represent their club at the Scottish finals at Northfield Bowling Club. Well done Agnes, Jean and Marella.
