THESE history-makers from 50 years ago in 1969 are the B Team of Broughton Road Bowling Club, who were the first ‘B’ side to win Division One of the Skipton and District Bowls League.
One of these top bowlers is Stuart Owen, of Broughton Grove, Skipton, who submitted the picture. He explains: “We had an influx of young players joining the club that season, which meant we could put out two sides in the same competition - which the league allowed us to do.”
Stuart recalls the names of all the players - from left, back row: John Wade, David Stirk, Tony Wright, Doug Parker, Reg L. Constantine, Raymond Grundy, Stuart Owen, Steve McEnnerney. Front: Stanley Carpenter Cedric Kitson, Robert Webster (captain), Wilf Hurst, George Wheeler.
