Overview

A Play, A Pie and A Pint – Absolute Bowlocks! by Graeme Rooney

When pompous President Maxwell of the Bowling Club belittles the skills of Ladies Champion, Ailsa McKay, she decides to disguise herself and enter the Gentleman’s Championship.

The straightforward plan soon becomes more complex when her alter ego, Alistair, is entered into other tournaments, gains family members and not everyone falls for the disguise. Blackmail, unheard of medical conditions and the world’s slowest bowler contrive to ruin Ailsa’s dream. Can she keep Alistair a secret and beat the pompous President?
