AGAIN the juniors at Gallow Indoor Bowls Club have been busy playing in competitions.
November 8 saw the Anglian Region Junior League's triples event at Potters.
This was run in two age groups, up to 13, and 13 to 18. Gallow had entries in both sections for which there had been a total entry of 28 teams.
The competition was very strong and involved teams from around the Anglia region.

The competition was even harder this year but a creditable third place was achieved by Daniel Ballantyne, Dean Johnson and Daniel Cawthorne.
