Sidmouth Bowling Club ladies were delighted to welcome Devon County’s Indoor Bowling Association vice-president, Leslie Crutchley, and her team to play a friendly game on their indoor rinks on Tuesday, writes Susie Bonnell.

As always, it was a great opportunity for the gathered County Badged ladies from many different clubs of Devon to catch up with their old friends from Sidmouth.

The Devon County ladies were even happier with an overall win - with a final score of Sidmouth 55, County 62.

There was a win for Sidmouth on one rink, a loss on the second and a draw on the third - so a good close match.

The match was followed by a delicious lunch prepared and served by Sidmouth indoor bowlers and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
