PRESIDENT’S CUP 2018
Congratulations to Mark Rowlinson on winning the President’s Cup on Sunday, defeating Chris Harding 21-12 in the final.
Both players had played well all day, with Chris having overcome the holder Alex Rimmer 21-6 in the 1st Round, before defeating Mike Dunlop (21-13), Pat McArthur (21-18) and Tony Wakefield (21-12) to reach the final. Mark had also had a tough route to the final with wins against Brian Jones (21-10), Margaret Langley (21-15), Bill Bloor (21-10) and Graham Meadow (21-17). In the final, Mark continued his fine form with some excellent lead bowls to win the President’s Cup for the second time, having previously won it in 2013.
The President’s Day Plate was won by John Unsworth, with a 15-10 win over Irene Nowell in the final.
Many thanks to all those who attended Sunday’s competition, which attracted 35 competitors. Thanks also to those who helped on the day with the refreshments and the sale of raffle tickets. Also to those who donated prizes. The final figure will be announced in a newsletter to be sent out next week but around £150 was raised for club funds.
