There was a great afternoon’s bowling on a much improved grass green for the 2024 Chairman’s Cup Competition. 10 pairs took part and these were split into two groups for a round robin. Each game was played over 7 ends.

In Group A Chris Webster & Kev Maher narrowly won the group with a +6 points difference, just narrowly ahead of Margaret Copeland & Peter Grimes who finished with +5 points.. Group B was even closer with Ian Gill & Laura Williams (who has only played a few times as part of our beginners sessions) and Matt Finch & John Davies drawing on +7 and also on the points scored (28) so Ian & Laura topped the group by virtue of the result between the two.

The Semi Finals were both close affairs. Marg & Peter overcame Ian & Laura 6-5, winning on the final bowl, Peter bowling a wonder bowl to carry the jack after Ian & Laura were lying game. The second semi was also close with Chris & Kev just overcoming Matt & John 8-6.

On to the final and a repeat of an earlier round robin game which Peter & Marg had taken 6-5. However, Chris’ leading was exemplary and, with 1 end to go Chris & Kev wrapped it up to take the 2024 Chairman’s Cup. Thanks to all those that entered and also came along to spectate and support.
