This weekend saw two of our outstanding club competitions played from last season from which Liz Burkhill & Jack Clarke were worthy winners.

On Saturday it was the Club Handicap which saw quite a few closely fought matches, a number of which that  involved Liz Burkhill in her progress to the final, which included a 21-19 victory over Mel Hobson in her semi-final. In the other half of the draw Ian Christopherson put up a fine showing in his semi-final to overcome Jack Clarke 21-12. In what was a great final Liz eventually got the upper hand over Ian to deservedly win 21-15.

Sunday was Club Championship day and despite the awful weather people’s competitive edge & enthusiasm wasn’t dampened with some excellent bowling all the way through the competition. Again we had two good semi-finals, at times looking like they could go either way. As it turned out it was Ian Christopherson making his second final of the weekend after beating Neil Fletcher 21-19, whilst Jack Clarke beat James Higgins 21-16 to book his final spot. It was top quality stuff in the final and despite a great game & effort by Ian Christopherson, he simply was no match for an impressive Jack Clarke who ran out a deserved 21-11 winner.

So congratulations to Liz & Jack and hard lines to Ian on what were two enjoyable days of bowling which also afforded us  a chance to catch up with friend we haven’t seen in a while.
