Not the Best of Results at Great Wakering!:
3 mixed triples from BHBC made their way to an away game at Great Wakering BC on the 9th June. It is a tricky Green to bowl on and on this occasion our Burnham bowlers could not master it.

Apologies to the Ladies Re a Friendly Result:
I reported earlier that on Wednesday 11th May BHBC ladies played in a friendly at Maldon BC over two triples and that Maldon won overall 19/31. This however was incorrect as I (Ed) had read the cards wrong. The correct result was that when the game was abandened due to inclement weather the Burnham ladies were winning on both rinks and therefore won 19/11. So Sorry ladies......Ed.
