It is with great sadness we have to announce that Doug Burkhill passed away at home on Friday 31st May. As everyone knows Doug was a member of the club for many years, becoming a life member in 1988 in honour of his long service in a variety of roles including Director and President. I think we can safely speak for all our members young and old in sending our sincerest condolences to Doug’s family. Doug’s funeral will be held on Thursday 13th June at 11:15am at Hutcliffe Wood, then after everyone is welcome back to MBC to remember Doug and celebrate his life with his family and friends (from approx 12 noon).

Congratulations to Sue Hill who successfully defended the Ladies Vets Merit on Tuesday 4th June. Sue had a tough semi-final against Ros Westley who played well throughout their game, Sue managed to get over the finish line with a 21-20 result. In the final she played Barbra Baxter from Meersbrook Park and came through a 21-12 winner to claim the trophy for the second year running. Well done Sue.

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.
