The same men’s teams which took part in the Inggs Cup, finished fourth out of the 15 competing clubs. With both competitions combined Albany finished a creditable third “which is an outstanding achievement as we were playing against some very strong and big clubs,” said Billy Krige, president of Albany Bowling Club.
The women members of the club have also enjoyed a great season and “have brought some fantastic results and honour to our club,” said Krige.
Marlene Jacobs and Sharon Meistre were selected to represent Eastern Province bowls side. Marlene Jacobs and Gwen Bartlett (Albany) and Rina Goosen (Grahamstown) were selected to represent Eastern Areas women’s bowls team.
