Template:29 August

29th August 2004: Jack Duckworth was in his element when he got a women's bowling team together and named them the "Rovers Ravers". Under his skilled coaching, they started to improve from disastrous beginnings and Jack made a bet with Ciaran McCarthy that the team would win the semi-finals in a competition. They did so and the bet upped to double or quits on the final. Then disaster struck: opposing team manager Edie Bagshawe overheard talk that the Ravers star player, Hayley Cropper, used to be a man and got her disqualified under the rules of the tournament. Desperate for a good player, the girls dressed Jack up as a dubious-looking woman and "Ida Fagg" made her appearance on the team. A suspicious Edie recognised Jack but he in turn recognised Edie as the former Eddie Bagshawe from their national service days. They decided each would keep quiet about the other and the Ravers team went on to win the match.
