This is a photo of the players of the Caernarfon
Bowling Club taken at the old bowling green in Twthill (which was
lost when the inner relief road was built). It was taken following
the club's victory in the knockout competition in the Bangor and
District League
Festival Cup 1966
Standing (L-R) John D Roberts, Idris Evans (quite well known in football circles
at the time as "Tarw Nefyn"), Dafydd Rhys Williams, Elwyn Phillips,
John Griffiths, Rol Jones (my father), Alex Hughes (my uncle).
Kneeling & Sitting (L-R) Bob Jones, Isaac Oldfield (he did not play,
but used to write up the scoreboard - beautiful copperplate writing
- he would have been between 85 and 90 when this photo was taken),
Ellis Owen, William John Hughes (My uncle - Alex's brother), Dafydd
John Griffiths (John Griffiths' father), Dick Edwards, Frank Oliver, Will
Loyd Griffiths - Oh,
and not forgetting the cup!
The house in the background is still there. |
