Twenty bowlers attended the annual Chairman’s Cup on Sunday afternoon and had a great afternoon of bowling. A new format was tried with every pair playing each other, before a final featuring the top two pairs. The nine games per pair were played over five ends, as was the final. 

Nick Slater and Dean Simmonds came top of the round robin format with 57 chalks. Dave Allister and Dave Hulse secured second place with a 13 point haul in their last game. They narrowly pipped Neil Kennedy and Joey Copeland for a place in the final. Ted Baker and John Leadbetter had a strong campaign as did Kev Maher and Peter Grimes. 

The final was tight with two evenly matched pairs. After four ends the pairs were locked at 3 across. However, Dean made good use of the block and played two great woods on the last end, which saw his team to victory. 

Thanks to everyone who came along. All monies raised will go into the club’s funds. Congratulations to Dean and Nick who were worthy winners on the day.
