ROSE BOWL
Congratulations to Jim Halsall on winning the Rose Bowl singles handicap, overcoming Peter Smith 21-17 in a closely fought final. Peter had held the advantage as he led 14-10 but Jim was able to count 4 twos in six ends at a crucial stage of the game to lead 16-15 and although Peter drew level at 17 across, Jim was able to score the four chalks required to take the title.
This was Jim’s fifth singles win at the Hesketh Arms and seventh competition win in total, equalling Margaret Langley’s club record.
