A VERY busy week for Dunheved Bowling Club started with the quartet of Peter & Judith Prynne and Brian & Rhona Keighley retaining the Open Tavistock Mixed Fours competition, the first time a rink had achieved this in the competition's history.

The next night the 'A' team played Camelford 'A' at home in the County League, not a good result for the home team a whitewash by Camelford 71-46 (5-0): M Gregory, B Kirby, G Davey, B Harris 14-22; B Davey, C Down, R Gribble, C Fishleigh 18-19; E Cockwill, G Littlejohns, D Bennett, D Bridgman 14-30.

Saturday saw the first of the all day round robin events, the Martins Triples. With ten triples taking part a good day's bowling went to the last round with F Wood, E Cockwill and R Gribble winning on shot difference. The usual thanks went to the ladies for a wonderful lunch, and a good draw made the whole day a wonderful success.
