Coronation Cup Saturday 7th June.
Five hardy bowlers turned up on a wet Saturday morning, Colin Edge, Jim Hallsall, Mal Green, Steve MacManus, and Fergal Wright.
In the top half of the draw the preliminary match was between Mal Green and Fergal which Fergal won.
The first Semi Final was between Jim and Fergal who were similar handicap, Fergal took an early lead to 8: 5. Jim caught up and got to 13 across but Fergal with the jack extended his lead finally winning 21:15
In the lower half of the draw the semi-final was between Steve and Colin. Steves Handicap was minus 3 but he managed to get back to 12:11 at the mid stage of the game. Having the jack was crucial in the wet conditions and Steve managed to bowl out to a 21:19 win against Colin who was playing in his first Hesketh Competition.
The Final Was a great game of bowls with the weather having finally passed and was played on an increasingly drying green. Steve managed to get to 9:10 at the mid stage but Fergal with the advantage of leading the ends managed a 21:11 win.
Thank you to the players who played through some very wet weather.
Fergal was a worthy winner adding to his 2021 victory
