11 Mar 2025: Gala v NHS: change of venue; Two Selkirk results
Venue change
The Waverley Bowling Club is not available on 18th March, and so a change of
venue will be arranged. Details will be posted here when we have them.
Selkirk championships
With there being no Borders League or Borders Individual games this week,
the only graded results come from Selkirk internal competitions: in
the Selkirk Championship John Moore (as White) won a hard-fought battle
against Sam Cornwell; and in the under-1200 tournament, Harry Cornwell
(White) drew with Kevin Poulton. Updated crosstables are on the
Club
News page... and the two games are available on the
Matches page...
