LV LEAGUE PAIRS
Congratulations to Kez and Ali Adams on winning the LV Pairs competition, which was completed at Scarisbrick Bowling Club on Sunday 21st May.
There was plenty of Hesketh Arms’ interest at the finals day of this competition, as Chris Harding and Jon Roberts faced Debbie Barnes and Sue Davies (Victoria Park / Crossens) at the quarter-final stage. Debbie and Sue won this game before going out to Danny Harding and Chris Willan from the host club in the semi-finals.
In the other half of the draw, Falcons’ captain Jeff Brown was partnering Steve Ridgway (Victoria Park) and they reached the semi-final where they eventually lost out to Kez and Ali.
Kez and Ali were up against homesters Danny Harding and Chris Willan in a close final, which could have gone either way until Kez and Ali counted three at the last end to secure victory.
