We had a triples team playing last Saturday, 08th July, at Kirkhill BC in the RDBA Jubilee Triples competition.
Twelve member bowling clubs from the RDBA took part, thats is,
Rutherglen, Kirkhill, Cambuslang, Overtoun Park, Templeton, Burnside,
Croftfoot, Halfway, Whitefield, Kingswood, St.Leonards & Tollcross.
Two sections of six competed and both section winners:
Cambuslang BC (W. McArthur, I. Skillen. J. Kirk) and Whitefield BC (M. Morris, D. Russell, M. O’Hagan), made it to the final.
It was a very close well fought out final with Cambuslang winning by 7 shots to 6 after five played ends.
The RDBA Jubilee Triples competition started in 1992 and this is the first time Cambuslang BC have won it. 😀

Cambuslang BC v Halfway & District BC
|
On Saturday 08th July we played our annual parish match at home against Halfway BC, 2:00pm
The parish match between our two clubs is made a bit special as since
1977 the tournament has had a challenge cup - The McGinlay Trophy,
donated by the then owner of the Sun Inn Mrs Maureen McGinlay.
The President of Cambuslang in 1977 was Jim Montgomery Sen and the
Halfway BC President was Jackie Fergus. Both clubs have competed for
the trophy ever since with the format of 2 pts a win.
This year the winners were Halfway B.C. The shots totals were Cambuslang 81 v Halfway 95.
