The 2014 outdoor season got underway on Saturday 19th April with a mixed Dinas Powis team welcoming friends from Millwood BC for a four rink friendly match up on a beautifully fine afternoon.
With the green in fine fettle, largely courtesy of some sterling work over the winter months by both Dave Parker and Richard Janes, all thirty two bowlers had no excuses as they reacquainted themselves with the joys of bowling in the sun, with many dusting off the cobwebs after a winter of inactivity.
In the event, whilst many bowlers were still somewhat 'rusty', a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all, and in a closely fought encounter Dinas, who welcomed Mike Smith to their ranks, just edged home by five shots.
