Congratulations to Derek Wignall on winning the Rose Bowl, the club’s first singles competition of the season.

His opponent in the final was Darren Edgerley, who had come through a close semi-final against Steve McManus. Darren started well in the final, scoring  2s at the first couple of ends but Derek had played consistently well all afternoon and eventually ran out a 21-15 winner.
