Eamon – One hundred not out!
Still playing a sport at the grand young age of 100 is quite remarkable.
Eamon Lennon, celebrated his 100th birthday last night when members of Newcastle Bowling Club formed a guard of honour, along with invited players from IBA, NIBA, NIPGBL, NIVBL, Mourne Midweek League, and of course the Ladies of Castle Park, all welcoming him onto the green with a rendering of ‘Happy Birthday’. as the UTV cameras recorded the event.
After a shorten game of bowls, everyone retired into the clubhouse for an excellent supper, after which NIBA Vice-President Rodney Simpson congratulated President Eamon, wished him many happy returns and presented Eamon with a plaque as a memento to mark this unique occasion.
A great evening was enjoyed by all, especially the centenarian birthday boy! Well done Eamon!
