CHURCHTOWN CONSERVATIVE CLUB – THE B.J.P.O’MALLEY PRESIDENT’S TROPHY
On Saturday 13th June, we again hosted the Churchtown Conservative Club’s annual bowling competition, when members compete for the B.J.P.O’Malley President’s Trophy. On a fine day, the main competition was won by Mike Milne and James Martins, who defeated Chris Harding and Alan Lloyd 21-13 in the final. A consolation competition was held for 1st round losers and this was won by John Unsworth and Noel Morgans with a 15-5 success against Heather Menzies and Dave Pritchard.
CORONATION CUP
The Club’s second singles competition of the season took place on Sunday 14th June when 23 members took part in the Coronation Cup.
One of the winners of the Club’s previous competition, Mike Dunlop (winner of the Spring Pairs, partnered by Connie Southern), was again in fine form, reaching the final with wins against John Tomlin (21-6), Connie Southern (21-20), Alan Bond (21-10) and Dave Bedford (21-16). Mike’s opponent in the final was John Unsworth, who had enjoyed impressive victories against Brian Jones (21-19), Leo Tobin (21-15) and Margaret Langley (21-16).
As a member of the Eagles, the Club’s Premier Division LV team, John had to concede a handicap of 2 against Mike and although John won the first end, it was the experienced Mike Dunlop who dominated the final, scoring five 2s in the first 9 ends to establish a commanding 15-1 lead. Although John rallied to close the gap to 9-16 by winning six out of the next seven ends, Mike was able to maintain his consistent form to win the final by a comfortable 21-9 margin. Congratulations to Mike on winning a competition which he previously won in 2011.
Participants in the main event who lost in their first game competed for the Diamond Jubliee Plate and this was won by Jim Finnimore with a 15-5 win in the final against John Tomlin.
