Streete Bowls
The three Streete teams were in action last week at the Streete Complex. Streete A had Ballymore as their visitors. After a slow start Streete eventually emerged victorious. On the same night Streete B and C went head to head. In a nail-biting encounter, both teams won two games each with the C team getting the bonus point by two shots 31 to 29.
Streete C Team 1 Paul Holdroyd, Francis Butler and Pat Kelly. Team 2 Marie Delamere, Martin Gaynor and Micheál Gillen. All the club members would like to wish Sean Flood a speedy recovery after a recent farm accident and also Jimmy Duffy who is recuperating after an operation. Finally we extend condolences to Mullingar bowler Kevin Nolan on the passing of his wife Joan. May she rest in peace.
