Reggie and Frank Holman and sons Derrick and Terry and Vic
and the Salthouse Dun Cow Bowls Club

The article goes on:
Since it was founded in 1934, the club has had good years, winning three of the four trophies open to it on accasions. but this season has been the best the club has known. Now the Sheringham and District Bowls League Cup, together with the League'd knock-out trophy, the Coast Cup, as well as the North Norfolk League Cup and their K.O. trophy, the Grange Cup, decorate the bar of the Dun Cow.

"All we have been in for, we have got" commented secretary Walter Cooper.
Four triples make up the league team, so with so limited a number of players to call on, two-thirds of the club's total strength is needed on the green every time they have a match.

But it is not only due to the club's bowling prowess that visitors on windy days dread a visit to the Dun Cow. For their exposed green looks straight across the salt marshes to the shingle bank and the North Sea.
The small club has good cause for congratulations however, for tahe two leagues cover an area from Wells to Sheringham along the coast, and as far inland as Saxthorpe. And in that area they reign supreme as E. B. A. league players.
Though the membership is small, the age range is wider than most clubs in the country for they have bowlers of all ages - from Percy Ramm a veteran of 78, down to 17 year old David Bartle. Also included in the team are 4 Holmans, Reg and his two sons Terry and Derrick, as well as their cousin Vic. the club's non-playing Chairman Mr H.J.Prothero ia as pleased as captain Dennis Hurp at their success. The only person with any tinge of regret at their quadruple victory is landlady Mrs Brenda Manson. She has to polish the cups!
