After years in the Provincial Bowling 'wilderness', Preston & District Circle are staging a comeback!
For the first time in recent history the Circle's bowlers won through to the semi-final stage of the competition.
The semi-finals and the final were played at St. Joseph's Parish Centre in Chorley but, because of Bank Holiday commitments, three of the teams star players were unable to compete.
However, three new signing were made and after intensive workouts with the team's trainer and psychologist (or should that be 'psychiatrist') and inspired by the successes of Team GB, the team faced up to the challenge presented by Blackpool Circle.
Success isn't achieved overnight and the might of Blackpool's bowlers could not be overcome.
Well done Blackpool! (...but they were beaten in the final by Burnley Circle (with their towels tucked in their back pockets.)
Inspired - Perspired - but not expired!

The Catenian Association is an international body of proudly Catholic laymen and permanent deacons who meet at least once a month in local groups called Circles, to enjoy each other's company and thereby strengthen their family life through friendship, faith and fun! It is open to practising Catholic laymen from the age of 18 years. Many of the Circles’ activities involve the members’ wives and families.
