Crosby Pub

FOLLOWING on from the success in
2014, the 2nd Annual Nags Head versus Sefton and Thornton Bowls Club bowls
match was held, on Saturday, 19 September 2015, with 2 local charities
benefitting from funds that were raised. The match took place at the
Hungry Horse pub on Green Lane, with staff members taking on their more
skilled regulars. Last year the members of the bowls club were kind enough
to use their weaker hands, but there was no levelling of the playing field
this time around as they showed the pub team exactly how it is done and were
convincing winners. As well as the bowls match, a raffle was held and nearly
£500 was raised in total, which will be split evenly between the Sefton
Women's and Children's Aid and Riding for the Disabled. Dave Ogley, manager
of the Nags Head, said:- "Everyone had a lot of fun playing in the
bowls match and it was great that we were able to raise money for 2 great
charities. You would have thought that playing last year would have helped
make us slightly better players but apparently not, we were still rubbish!
However, we put up a decent enough fight and the players from the bowls club
knew that we would be the ones serving them after the match so they did not
rub it in!"
