Murray Bridge bowlers on tour
On December 31, three rinks of the Murray Bridge Bowling Club started out on a tour of the northern towns in quest of bowlers’ scalps.
Leaving Murray Bridge at 7.30, two rinks reached Tanunda at 10.30am.
Fourteen ends were played before lunch, and 30 after, in which the Murray Bridge club were victorious.
In the evening, the bowlers went to a typical Tanunda New Year’s Eve continental to enjoy good music, both vocal and instrumental, and of some quality, til the bells chimed the old year out and the new year in.
