Sunday May 16th.  At home to Abermule
 
It was another fine win for St. Michael's L.G.B.C. this weekend when visitors from
Abermule were beaten on every rink.  It was a last minute push from the  
Shrewsbury
team as Abermule had steamed ahead on the first few ends. The highest scoring triple
of the 72 shots to 58 win were Norman O'Connor, Emma Griffiths and Bill Hughes as
skip.
In spite of their good wins this year Captain, Cherry O'Connor, is concerned that some
of their fixtures may  have to be cancelled  unless more flat green bowlers join the club.
