Our Ladies’ Pairs Championships have now been completed.

T. Meehan and K. Porter had defeated S. Seckold and G. Richardson 26-15, whilst N. Blackford and P. Fletcher won over M. Flagg and M. Smith 25-16 to make it to the final round.

Our new Club Ladies’ Pairs Champions are Nerida Blackford and Pat Fletcher, winning the match against Teresa Meehan and Kim Porter 15-14.

This was a terrific match, enjoyed by a large group of club bowlers.

One of the male supporters thought it was the match of the season.

Most ends saw only one shot scored, but Nerida and Pat managed a few ends of 2s and 3, which was all the difference.

The match went to an extra end, with Pat putting down a great shot which lasted, to be the winning bowl.

Thanks to everyone who came down and supported us on the day.
