On Sunday 4 mixed rinks visited the new Redbourn club, which only opened this year and who play on an artificial all weather surface. On a very enjoyable afternoon, Berkhamsted ran out winners 100 shots to 53, however this was a very creditable performance by Redbourn, as most of their team only started bowling this year. Eric Lamb, Lesley Brown and John Webb were the top rink for Berko.
