The sighthill cup has started and here are all the competitors posing before the tears start to roll.
Sas taking the knee for underprivileged people everywhere including hippopotamuses everywhere who for obvious reasons just can’t.
Good luck to everyone today and obviously may the best team win (Dodger 🤞)
Congratulations to Hilda Melrose and David Ferguson on winning the Forsyth pairs.
A downpour of rain stopped play midway but only for about 20 minutes or so and nobody let it dampen (sorry) their spirits on the day.
Well done to everyone who participated to make it another great competition this year.
A huge congratulations to the Sighthill 2nd 16 who won the Edinburgh bowling association’s 2nd 16’s 2nd Division League title.
A very tight game through most of the match but the lads pulled through at the end to win 7-2 to claim the league title on their own merit and not depending on other results.
Everybody in the team are over the moon and currently sitting beside me getting rather drunk.
‘Mon the ‘Hill!
Evening everyone,
Both teams played brilliantly tonight. First 16 and second 16 won 7-2.
Sighthill second 16 won to keep the top position while the second 16 won to keep themselves within touching distance of 1st place.
A good drink after the games back at Sighthill Bowling Club and exchanging our takes of the games had us all leaving the club in good fettle.
Well played both teams and keep the fight going.
Wow. What a day we all had.
The very first Chris Walsh Memorial Trophy was played on a beautiful day. Bowls were rolled, drink was drunk (and then some) and everyone had a great time.
The game was peels after five ends so an extra end was needed. The winners this year were Sean Kelly, Willie Savage and Alan Wright who won the final end. Congratulations guys.
The runners up, and it has to be said very unluckily, were Ross Hendry (unlucky bro), Sas Martinez and James Murphy.
Thanks to John and Elaine for a trophy that’s simply amazing and will be an honour for anyone to win.
Finally, rest in peace Chris, as they say “gone but not forgotten”
Roll on next year.
