LA MARINA BOWLS REPORT BY BARRY LATHAM
The Pilots flew away to the Emerald Isle to play the Vulcans and came back with another good win of 10-4. Four winning rinks plus the overall shots.

Terry and Jean Perchard along with Lorita Rae 17-12 and with the same difference John Morgan, Tom Spencer and Gina Hindle 16-11.
La Marina and the VCL aren’t very compatible at the moment as we went to San Miguel and got rather harshly beaten again. This time 12-2. Our only winning rink came from Dave Taylor, John Rae, Carol Smith and Mo Taylor. Mo had a great game and rumour has it that Dave was so pleased that a trip to some dress shops is on the cards.
The Pilots had their second game on Friday where they played the Quesada Lancasters away and got bombed off the green losing 10-4 although the overall shots was only a measly six shots. Len Daniels, Steve Hindle and Dave O’Sullivan won 17-10 while our top winning trip was John Morgan, Tom Spencer and Gina Hindle.
