Members of the Kings Bowling Club were devastated when the greens on Moor Road, Wath, disappeared under several feet of water.Now they have criticised Rotherham Council for a delay in starting work restoring the greens, which they say could affect next year's games.

They say the delay has been so long that rabbits are now starting to burrow under the usually lush greens.

A council spokesman said: "I'm pleased to confirm that the council has located available funding to carry out restoration works at the bowling green."
