The Pink Triples Tournament, sponsored by Professionals Real Estate, was held on Sunday with a full complement of teams participating and enjoying the beautiful conditions.
Women, men, families, and children of all abilities participated with great enthusiasm with all proceeds going towards Breast Cancer Research. About $1200 was raised during the day.
Three games of 8 ends each were played throughout the afternoon. The winning team was the Richards and Isherwood Families. It was a special time for one of the team members, Candice Richards, whose cousin is currently receiving treatment for breast cancer.
The Warburton Bowls Club sincerely thanks all participants for their contribution towards the success of the day. Also, a special mention to Professionals Real Estate for their sponsorship and coordination of the day’s activities.
