NATIONALS

There is a break from competetive action over the Easter weekend before the National Championships starting on the 9th April at Church Gresley Indoor Bowling Club in South Derbyshire.

Cornwall is again well represented this year starting with the Singles on Thursday 9th, Pairs on Friday 10th, Fours on Saturday 10th and concluding with Triples on Sunday 11th.  With two runners up places in the last two seasons could this be the year that a National title makes it way back to Cornwall?
