LISKEARD Bowls Club recently held their eagerly-anticipated anticipated finals weekend.

In contrasting weather, the finals weekend proved memorable for more than just the bowling, with Saturday delivering baking hot sunshine and Sunday bringing persistent rainfall. Despite these dramatic shifts in weather, play continued undeterred.
