FOUR playing members of Wellington Bowling Club escaped serious injury when they were involved in a road accident on their way back from competing in their first away match of the summer season at Knowle on Saturday.

Paul Kelly was driving the car and his passengers were Mike Connor, Mark Philips and Ken Brown. Club secretary Brian Wombwell said yesterday: “The car with the Wellington players finished up on its side and the men had to climb out through the offside passenger door. The police, ambulance, fire service and the air ambulance all attended and the road was closed for several hours.”
