No luck for triples in Tamworth
NO luck for the district triples players at Tamworth on Saturday when they lost to Lighting Ridge however they have a chance in the fours at Inverell this week when Chris Kliendienst is joined by his father Phil, Col Stanley and Braden Sole to play Inverell East.
The New England bowler of the year contest will be close this year as Todd Fuller is making a serious charge at Chris Kliendienst. Points are awarded for district, zone and club championships and I should have an updated score soon.
