The Bowlers hosted the Q Club, and it was the visitors who swiftly took the lead with a well-deserved 7-0 advantage at the break. Despite the hosts' efforts to mount a comeback in closely contested matches after the break, their endeavours were futile, and the visitors emerged as deserving winners. The event was conducted in good sportsmanship; however, it became evident that the Bowlers require additional practice and experience to compete with top-tier teams. Bowlers extend best wishes for their forthcoming matches.

A bad night at the office for The Greenisland Colts as they were defeated by Rab & Big T's Rockets by 12 frames - 2.Several of the frames were genuinely tighter than the score line would suggest and there were a number of excellent and very tactical frames played. This particular evening would favour the Rockets team by quite a margin with Colts Captain Harry Warwick and Colt Joe Patton winning a frame each for their team.
