2013 "Inglewood Federation Of Bowls And Cups" Lawn Bowling Championships

It was a beautiful sunny morning, with a bit of dew on the greens as we set up for the Championship at The Inglewood Lawn Bowling Club. We had to herd a few slugs off the greens as we got set to for some trials, a bit of practice before the real games started. By the time the first end of Game 1 got going, things had dried up and the bowlers got the feel for just how fast the greens were and what kind of line to play in each lane. 

There was some pretty tense action as the games progressed, and everyone needed a rest break part way through the day to chow down on some amazing food cooked up by fellow bowlers "The Kingpins", who also represent such fine establishments as The Libertine, Below Deck and The Unicorn. Many thanks to those great guys.

As for just how the day went, the pictures tell the story, so scroll through and see the results.
