May
May 3rd was the first home game of the 2017 season. We were delighted to welcome Newhaven Deputy Mayor June Dyer to deliver the first jack of the new season. Though the weather tried to conspire a great afternoon was had by all. Our opponent on the day was Burgess Hill Bowling Club and with Deputy Mayor with us, we recorded a 57-50 win.
