The annual Champion Of Champions event run at Wadsley House saw MBC bring home 2 trophies this weekend with Dillon Christopherson beating Jacob Parratt in the Junior final and Andrea Ainley beating fellow MBC player Sue Hill in the Ladies Final.

The junior event was run on a round robin basis with Dillon beating James Haigh 21-05 and then playing Jacob to a 13-13 draw which meant both players progressed to the final. The final was a close run contest with both bowlers playing consistently well, Dillon took control of the game at 15 across and run over the line for a 21-15 victory.

In the ladies event Sue Hill came up against Debbie Whitworth in a Semi-Final worthy of being the final, Sue came from 18-10 down to beat Debbie 21-20 in a fantastic game, in the other Semi-Final Andrea Ainley beat Joan Ramage 21-13 to set up the all MBC final. For Sue this was her first time in the Champion of Champions and a second appearance for Andrea, with neither having won the event before there was sure to be a new name on the trophy, the final result seeing Andrea come through a 21-11 Winner.

Congratulations to all.
