The warm weather brought a wealth of success with it for MBC and it’s members this weekend, with individual and team successes coming for the ladies and vets teams and individually for Jack Clarke & Andy Sorsby.

The vets team claimed the Nelson Withey trophy at Millhouses with victory over Whiteley Woods. The last time MBC claimed this trophy was in 1984 so a great achievement by the current team to reclaim a trophy that we last held 35 years ago!! Well done team!!

The MBC ladies were in action on Friday evening at Hallam Props to defend the Sheffield Ladies 4’s title they claimed last year. The Semi Final saw MBC play Thorncliffe in a repeat of last years Final, MBC ladies came through with 4 winners from 4 blocks. The other semi final saw Meersbrook Park play Richmond, in a fantastic game the aggregate was drawn and a playoff required to decide the finalist, Linda Hawksworth played Mary Hammond in a 11 up play off with Linda coming in 11-8 to take Richmond into the Final. The final was a great team effort by MBC with Kerry Brown beating Bev Bailey 21-15, Liz Burkhill beating Beryl Ball 21-11, Yvonne Hamilton battling well from 18-8 down to just dip 21-15 to Christine Collins and Andrea Ainley beating Linda Hawksworth 21-08 to bring the trophy back to MBC for another year. Well done ladies!!

The South Yorkshire Triples were this year held at Millhouses Park. There were a number of entries from MBC including last years winners Jack Clarke, Andy Sorsby & Chris Kelly who were looking to retain the title. MBC were well represented in the final by Dillon Christopherson who played with Richard Lonnia & Callum Jeffrey (Hillsborough Pk) they played Jack Clarke, Andy Sorsby & Chris Kelly. In an entertaining final the scores were neck and neck around the halfway mark, but Clarke, Sorsby and Kelly took control of the game in it’s later stages and run out worthy winners on the day. Well done to all involved.
