OVER the weekend of Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1, Liskeard Bowls Club held their annual finals competitions. 

After a season of unpredictable weather and many cancellations we finally hit the jackpot with the glorious weather.

All competitors had come through tough games to make it to the final, so congratulations on getting there. Brilliant play by all.

Thanks to all who turned up to support the players and the club, making it a special occasion. We were all fed well by Rose James and her catering assistants and thanks to Will Rogers for the bar service.
