Hi Everyone,
The Men’s Club Singles Semi-Finals and Finals took place on Sunday 6th September and the weather was kind for those playing and spectating. It was great to see so many friends and familiar faces down at the club again, catching up with each other and supporting the players. A big thank you to everyone who came down to watch and make it a great day.
Congratulations goes to Mike Parsons who beat Joe Moorley in a Final which saw some great bowling from both players. Mike has now earnt himself a spot in the Champion of Champions next season.
In what has been a difficult season, it was great that we could get the competition on at all and give playing members some competitive games. Thank you to all those who participated.
Special thanks go to Matt Hayzelden and Joe Moorley who put in a lot of time and effort helping out with the draw, playing arrangements, marking, and setting up of the green and club for the finals weekend.
Also thanks to Rose Castle for marking the Final.
Your help is appreciated as always
