WEST DEVON AREA CHALLENGE
The ISCA Centre played host to our annual Area Challenge. This year the format was altered
and 10 non-county bowlers were used from each of the three areas and they were split into 1
Single, 1 Pair, 1 Triple and 1 Four. These teams then play all the other areas as well as the
Devon County “A” team. Each win was rewarded with two points and the team with the most
shots after all the disciplines had played each match was rewarded with an additional 2 points.
