The weather although a little chilly to start with, was dry and not too windy making for some good bowling conditions.
The Green although improved on last year, still presented the bowlers with
some interesting challenges
Club President Derek Ridley along with Competition Secretary Stuart Logan were on hand all weekend to make sure fair play and club style won the day. Umpires Wally Burrows and Ted Hood took care of the technical bits for us on a very well run and successful weekend.

2 SETS SINGLES
Eric Charnock Cup
Derek Meechan
Derek put behind him the disappointment of losing in the Championship Singles the day before. He did however take his time to assert himself against the man he played in that match, Keith Brinsmead. Keith took the first set easily. In the second set Derek came back at the death to rescue the match. He then went from strength to strength to win the decisive third set.
