Away Day End of Season Competition

Crossens Away Day at Black Horse, Croston

On Saturday 7th September we had the Away Day which is the last club competition of 2024. This year we went to The Black Horse in Croston, what a fabulous day we had. 32 bowlers including Gladys. The draw was done on Thursday into eight groups of 4. Sue Davies decided on the format of a pairs round robin which worked really well, everybody played 3 games and nobody was hanging around waiting for a game. 

The top 2 from each group went through to play as a pair in the quarter finals.

Group 1 John Townsend and Dave Rimmer

Group 2 Sue Davies and Ann Tweddell

Group 3 Tony Wakefield and Brian Jones

Group 4 Paula Milnes and Barry McArthur

Group 5 Nancy McDade and Colin Milnes 

Group 6 Pauline Rimmer and Allen Mountford

Group 7 Noreen Lewis and Roy Cropper

Group 8 Ronnie Southern and Jim Abram

The semi finals were between John and Dave v Tony and Brian

And Jim and Ronnie v Nancy and Colin.

Tony and Brian and Nancy and Colin played really well to get through to the final.

Unfortunately due to lack of time the final was not played and the winnings were split.

We retired for our meal which was excellent. 

So a day of bowling on a tricky green, lots of banter and an excellent meal made this a special day for Crossens Bowling Club.
