DBE vs Carlton Enderby IBC – 15th October

DBE vs Carlton Enderby IBC

DBE took their travelling band of bowlers to Carlton Enderby for an afternoon match against their Indoor Bowls Club.  Both fielded mixed teams and the match turned into a very challenging competition with Carlton eventually  being victorious by 79 – 59 shots.  The score did not reflect the closeness of this match that was played in a very competitive but friendly manner.

Well done to all and excellent catering.
