Not to be outdone by the ladies Trevor Colvin, Nigel Robinson and Gary McCloy will compete in the triples and Aiden Reid, Steven Falls, Derek Smith and Ian McClure in the rinks.

Members of the club recently attended a special reception in Riada House, Ballymoney when Causeway Coast and Glens Mayor Michelle Knight- McQuillan entertained the recently crowned Irish Indoor Triples and Fours champions from Ballybrakes Community Indoor Bowling Club who attended along with Club Officials.

The Mayor also wished them good luck for the forthcoming British Isles Championships later in the month in Llanelli, Wales.
