Congratulations to Mike Fagan who today won the Club’s Singles Competition, beating Ian Mayne 11-10 in a thrilling final.

There was a good turnout of 26 bowlers who were divided into two groups of thirteen.  The quarter finals saw Dave Hulse beat Martin Roberts and Peter Bailey beat Marg Copeland convincingly.  The other two games were closer though with Winnie Rowland only just being beaten by Ian Mayne (11-9) and Mike Fagan just overcoming Joey Copeland (11-8)

Ian brushed aside Peter in one of the semis, but it was closer in the other where Mike only just overcame Dave 11-9.

The final was nip and tuck throughout and, at 10 across, it all went through to the final end.  After a decent lead by Ian, Mike played a superb second wood right on the block.  Ian fired to kill the end but missed to give Mike the 2019 title.  A big thanks to Eric Barklem who ran the competition.
