Report by John Auld
The season ended with some signs of progress from Notts in this home match against our Midlands neighbours.
The teams with Butler imps scores were:
Dawes:
William Crook & Sandy Fulton +61
Mark Goddard & David Hodge +23
John & Irene Auld +5
Bill Whalley & Pravin Tailor -64
Porter
Gordon Fullerton & Frank Ball +73
Lloyd Eagling & Keith Rodgers +9
Graham Lee & Steve Raine +41
John Rolph & Gerry Franklin +8
Markham
Ian Dovey & Shirley Ashtari -38
Janet Jacques & Will Irving +32
Chris & Dorothy Close -72
David & Judy Cadwallander +49
