Gateway held their last day competition, the Presidents Trophy, on Saturday 23 September. After a good afternoon the winners with a score of 69 were Derek Norley, Phil Scott and Paul Gretton. The runners up with a score of 65 were Malcolm Bessent, Lesley Dixon and Luke Hogben. The trophy was presented by President Janet.
A well run and enjoyable end to our season with thanks to Dave Hudson for organising the event.
On Monday 11 September Gateway Ladies hosted the Ladies Dover League Presentation Match and after an exciting game of bowls all the teams enjoyed a lovely meal. The winners of the afternoon were St. Margarets with River coming second. Well done to Canterbury as winners of the League and Aylesham losing by just one point.
Thanks must go to Sue Scott, Gateway ladies league rep, Janet Hudson and her team for the meal and Bob Scott and his merry team of helpers. Without all of these people the event would never have happened. We would also like to thank the ladies who run the League.
Our next pie lunch is on Sunday 24 September, 1.00 for 1.30. Don’t forget to bring a raffle prize.
