Thursday 2nd July - Top Ten Final - Congratulations to the vitorious Dollar top 10 team who beat Clackmannan at Tulliallan last night. The victory was a convincing one, (even without Gordon Duncan and Kevin Jack, who's shoes were comfortably filled by Dennis Fitzgerald and David Gordon), with Dollar winning 8-0 over a Clackmannan team that many people thought were in the running to win the competition! The Legend now has a difficult choice who to leave out in the final!

The other semi-final was contested between Tulliallan and Menstrie, with Tulliallan winning. The final of the Top 10, that will be played at Alva South's green, is between Tulliallan and Dollar. Good luck to both teams in the final, (although more to Dollar!), and we hope that other members will come to the club that night and support the team.

Saturday 13th June - Friendly Match v Alva South - Alva South travelled to Dollar for our annual friendly fixture and a close match ended with a narrow win for Dollar, by a handful of points. An enjoyable time was had by all and we wish the Alva South Bowling Club members every success in their matches this season.

However, the evening was a riot of laughter (and a lot of shouting!) and we raised £235 for club funds. Thanks go to Social Conveynor, Kai Young for staging the event. Thanks also to Kai's helpers on the night, Kennie Young, Dolly Young, Gordon Duncan, Lew Diamond Phillips, Adam Denney and Margaret Daniels - and a mention to Matt McKay for explaining how to set up and run the race night. Thanks also to all members that bought horses and sponsored the races.

With Joe Young, Johnny "Ding-dong" Bell and Marko McCallum representing Scotland in the British Isles Championships in Belfast in two week's time, (and 30 Clackmannan members going to support them), they will be naming a different side for the semi-finals. We wish Joe, John and Mark every success in the British Isles and Clackmannan in the semi-final.
