A couple of recent wins in doubles comps for MBC with Peter Tomlinson & Ian Christopherson winning the Social League Doubles Merit at Hallam Props and Andrea Ainley & Richard Moore successfully retaining the Sheffield Parks Mixed Doubles Merit at Millhouses.

The social league doubles merit was a particularly strong and successful competition for MBC with all Four pairs in the finals coming from the club. The final became a Father & Son event with Christopherson & Tomlinson Snr playing Christopherson & Tomlinson Jr in the final. The young guns gave the seniors a run for their money throughout the final, but experience prevailed as Ian & Pete edged over the line 21-14 in the final. Well done to all involved.

It is with a heavy heart that MBC announce the passing of Margo Sinclair. She died peacefully last night surrounded by her family. Margo will always have a place in our hearts and will be fondly remembered for her love of bowls and MBC. She always put her heart and soul into every game and put just as much into the social aspect of the game too which gained her many close friends. Her Scottish banter and her shouting of “Simdgeon” or ” A wee Smidgeon” will be forever missed around the green. Further details of funeral arrangements will be shared once known. But for now – rest easy Margo our dear friend xx
