Sports Stories Surround Silver Cup
Christchurch hosted the 60th edition of the extraordinary and historic Bacardi Cup last week. This special lawn bowls event relies on efforts of many, none-more-so than Kevin Hickman resident Greg Rhodes who remains extremely passionate about the sport and the people it draws in.
Greg and members of the liquor industry were in the Garden City this week to celebrate six decades of the Hospitality New Zealand National Bacardi cup. This year the event took place on Riccarton Racecourse Bowling Club and Bowls Hornby greens.
