For decades, the Berkeley and Palo Alto bowling clubs have played an annual match for possession of the Meat Axe trophy. This year, five teams of three from each club met on the Berkeley green to decide the trophy’s home for the coming year. We played four short games for a total of twenty. Sadly, the Palo Alto club won 11 with Berkeley winning 9…close, but no banana! So, the Meat Axe went back to Palo Alto this year.

The event will be at Palo Alto next year.
