Synopsis:

Jack Simpson (Mick Molloy) is a bit of a lost soul. He works in a city office and operates a bit of a rort, having joined the lawn bowling club opposite his workplace in order to get cheap parking. When the Cityside Bowling Club is confronted by its financial difficulties and its members decide to enter a bowling tournament with the hope of winning cash, they contact Jack, a member on the books, to make up a team to compete. Much to his surprise, Jack begins to enjoy his involvement with the club, and finds himself up against businessman Bernie Fowler (John Clarke), who is intent on taking over the club and installing poker machines.
