The photograph shows Pauline Dando and Chris Love at Leamington in the National Finals of the Ladies County Pairs competition. Unfortunately they didn’t make the Final, but had a very close game against Surrey C. Both ladies said they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to bowling at Leamington again. They will contest the Somerset County Final on 9th September at Taunton.
