This year’s Nell Rumble saw the highest entry since 2002 with 11 teams.

Each team was randomly allocated a team name with the defending champions ironically drawing the ‘C Team’ with the name ‘Champions’.

After a sunny start and then a very wet couple of matches we all enjoyed the usual super buffet that is always a highlight of this competition. We then resumed play in dry sunny conditions for the remainder of the day.

The final proved to be a very worthy finale to the day with last year’s runners-up (Bob and Judy Savory and Geoff Chadd) winning on the very last bowl against the ladies trio of Christine Lee, Diane Hill and Sheila Andrews.

Thanks go to everyone who took part, those who organised the buffet and to everyone who helped set up the rinks and make the day the usual success.
