Top pair sunk by Consett Park team
CONSETT Park bowlers Walter Scott and Derek Metcalfe pulled off the shock of the competition in the North West Durham Bowling League when they knocked View Lane’s Durham County duo Tommy Buller and David Dawson out of the first round of the pairs.
Scott and Metcalfe won 27-24 against the formidable View Lane pair who know that they are the ones everyone wants to beat. And amazingly Buller and Dawson conceded all eight shots at one end against the Consett pair.
The photo shows Paul Metcalfe, Barry Telfer and Derek Metcalfe (all standing). The player crouching on the right is Michael Cregan. If you can identify anyone else, please contact us.
