For the Hoopoe’s final game, we couldn’t have asked for better opponent’s than Country Bowls Meercats who are always great company especially on this sad day for La Siesta. The game saw some great bowling, most rinks were so close the points could have gone either way but unfortunately not to us as the game ended with one win to collect 2 points by; Singles: Mike Inns (21-19) for a result of 2-10 (Shots 78-90).
Congratulations to La Siesta Parakeet’s for winning the “C” Division VCL League.
