The Club Competitions commenced in July and concluded with the finals which were played over the weekend Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 September. Saturday morning brought heavy rain but that did not deter many of the dedicated bowlers. Saturday afternoon and Sunday remained dry but cool at times. The competitions this year were well supported and the directors, President Annette Finn and Anne Fitzgerald did an excellent job.
