Roy Ashcroft Memorial Trophy

Sunday 31st August 2008

Winners - Jack Sargeant & Angela Carr

Runners-up - Bert Traverse & Winnie Rowland

A damp days bowling, but we avoided the worst of the rain.  Jack picked up his second trophy of the year and was well supported by Angela, who has had an outstanding season so far.  As always the presence and support of Elsie was much appreciated, and she just managed to stay warm enough to present the trophy at the end of the competition.

Chairman's Cup

Sunday 27th July 2008

Winners - Jack Sargeant & David 'Rocky' Wrotniak

Runners-up - Tommy Copeland & Adam May

We were blessed with the weather and a great afternoon's bowling.  Three groups of four pairs battled it out with the winners of the groups (Ian & Matthew Gill, Tommy Copeland & Adam May, and Jack Sargeant & David Wrotniak [Rocky]) being joined by the best runners-up (Brian Carr & Sarah Gill) in the semi finals.  In a close game Adam & Tommy overcame Brian & Sarah 7-6, and Jack & Rocky had an easier game, beating Ian & Matt 7-1.  The final was a one-sided affair with Jack & Rocky running out easy winners 7-0.  Everyone had a great time though, especially some of our junior members (Matthew, Emma, Tom & Jack) who did really well against their adult opponents.  Some more shots of the action are set out below - click on the thumbnails to see a larger shot.

Sunday 26th August 2007

Winners - Ritchie Barnes & Joe Leahy

The weather was perfect for bowling and with even pairs chosen there were some close games.  It was Ritchie and Joe though who showed the best form to win their two group game and then to convincingly beat Jack and Winnie in the final.  The third place game was close with Ian and Sandra coming from behind to just pip Peter and Jean. 

Roy Ashcroft Memorial Cup

Winners - Bert Traverse & Winnie Rowland

Runners-up - Geoff Smith & Brian Carr

  

Chairman's Cup

Sunday 15th July 2007

Winners - Ian Gill & Claire Evans

Runners-up - Steve James & Geoff Smith

A shame more Members didn't turn up for what was a great afternoon's bowling.  The rain largely held off, and it was Ian and Claire won all their matches to take the newly named Chairman's Cup, and this allowed Ian to retrieve some of his sponsor money!  The trophy was presented by Diane. This could be the first trophy of many for Claire who bowled well all afternoon.  Close competition came from Geoff and Steve who were runners-up.  Brian stepped manfully up to partner Angela and make up a pair, despite not being in the fittest of health at present.

2006 Club Competition Results

John Wright Memorial Cup

Sunday 17th September 2006

Winners - Bert Traverse & Cathryn Jackson

Runners-up - Ian Gill & John Croft

Yet again we were lucky with the weather for the third time this year.  Numbers were a bit down on the previous two cup competitions but all those who did turn out enjoyed a fine afternoons bowling.  Bert coaxed his inexperienced partner through to the trophy, just pipping Ian & John who finished a close second.

President's Day

Sunday 23rd July 2006

Winners - Diane Evans & Ian Gill

Runners-up - Paul Miller & John Croft

        

This Competition was held on a lovely summers day on a bone dry and extremely fast green - almost as many bowls went into the gutter as stayed on the green.  In fact green is perhaps the wrong term as it was more brown than green.  It was always going to be a tough competition and in a very close final Ian and Di just ran out 11-9 winners over John and Paul.  You may wonder why they are in fact holding the John Wright Trophy in the photos - this is due to Peter having gone on holiday and we couldn't get the President's Trophy back!
