The first round of the bronze pennants was played at Jamberoo on Monday 19^th June. Nowra won two games to Jamberoo one. Fay Lochrin was the star of the day winning her game 18 to 4 against Diana Chafer. Fay achieved a milestone in her game pegging out ( this is the first time that Fay has ever pegged out in any game) Congratulations Fay Margaret Sawers won 12 to 11 against Marilyn Benson in a very close game which could have gone either way right up to the end.

Oie Malcolm and Colleen McIntyre lost to Len Chafer and Brian Colquhoun 6 to 4 but were in no way discarded as both played well.

The next round will be played at Nowra on Monday the 26^th June
