St. Dunstans Tomorrow

Considering there's been no new content on here for a while, we thought we'd supply you with a bit of background information about tomorrow's opponents:

"The Green is situated at Greenhill (of London Rd) Worcester, nestled behind houses with views to Worcester Cathedral over the Roof tops,
We are at present doing extensions to the club house, which will make  the club house more appealing with a viewing room over the green. The building work is being taking on by the members of the bowling Club.  
"The Club was formally established in 1911 and is now privately owned. A Mr Hinchcliffe agreed to lease has land to bowlers at a cost of £8 per annum. 
"During the fifties the Committee sold ground to finance a flat green and redeem the mortgage, again in 1963 the tennis courts were sold, financing a car park and replacement pavilion. In the nineties, ladies were finally allowed in, total mixed membership now stands at about one hundred."
More information here.

EDIT: On the friendlies section of their website we've just found a very nice, hospitable comment; "Bromyard are 2 Short due to warm weather affecting their elderly members 
would anyone like to help them out by playing them, please!!!" I think they sound more desperate than us!
