ROSE BOWL 2019
The first club competition of the season took place on Sunday when 23 members braved the chilly conditions to take part in the Rose Bowl, a singles handicap.
In the top half of the draw, Terry Corfield negotiated a tricky route to the final by defeating Wayne Graham (21-12), Kez Adams (21-17) and in the semi-final, the in-form Dave White (21-13). Terry’s opponent in the final was his Harriers team-mate Peter Croston, who had overcome Laurie Townson (21-11), Alex Rimmer (21-12) and Ken Rimmer (21-9).
The final was expected to be close but Terry continued his excellent form by winning 12 out of the first thirteen ends to establish a commanding 20-5 lead. Peter was able to stage a mini-revival by winning four consecutive ends but Terry scored the single chalk he needed to win the final 21-9. Congratulations to Terry on winning his first Hesketh Arms title.
A plate competition was run for those losing their first game and this was won by Club President Sue Davies with a 15-10 win against Lynne Smith in the final.
Members are reminded that the next internal competition will be the Spring Pairs, which will take place on Saturday 11th May, starting at 12 noon. Pairings will be drawn randomly on the day – please register by 11.45 am to ensure a prompt start.
