Men’s President’s Day 2024

Report from our Chairman Keith Sproston

Last Sunday saw the Men’s President’s Day Club Competition.

Sixteen handsome brutes turned up to a beautiful day. Good humour and great bowling.

Once again the results were not what you would expect, but the round robin format proved to be excellent for everyone to have a chance to go through to the semi-finals and final. Thank you to everyone who attended.

Thank you to the ladies who always make the day complete, and to Joe for making hot food on the BBQ.

Thank you to Karen for her role as president presenting the awards.

It seems strange to report on such an enjoyable day after what has gone on in the town this week. I wish to send our clubs love to those affected by it and hope the future is peaceful.

Keith

The sixteen handsome brutes were split into 4 groups to play a round robin format. 

After some very close games we had 4 winners who went onto play the semi-finals

Tony Wakefield v John Townsend and BBQ King Joe Kelly v Jim Abram

Both games were very close but John went ahead and beat Tony to 15 and Jim dashed Joe hopes by beating him to 18.

The final between John and Jim saw some excellent bowling but John who had been playing well all day took the lead and beat Jim to 12. Congratulations to John Townsend our Men’s President’s Day 2024 winner.
