MENS CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES
The Gordon Garrett Cup
KEITH BRINSMEAD
The green made both players think very hard about the best way to bowl in this final. It was fairly evenly matched up to around 15 all but Keith edged away from opponent Chris Ide and finished the winner 21-16. This was Keith's third Singles Championship
LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP SINGLES
The Monica Ridley Trophy
AMBER LOGAN
Amber Logan rounded off a successful bowls season by beating Sandy Lay-Flurrie 21-18. Sandy made most of the front running but the tactical change to shorter jacks was the route to success for Amber.
CHAMPIONSHIP PAIRS
Ashbury Cup & Lepherd Cup
STUART LOGAN & STUART SHWARTZ
This was the third consecutive year for Stuart Logan and Stuart Shwartz. This year they won against the opposition of surprise but deserved finalists, Steve Davis and Chris Salt.
TWO WOOD SINGLES
Roome Cup
IAN ROBERTSON
Derek Meechan had little enthusiasm for another game after a hard hot day on the green on Saturday. So the Sunday morning match went to Ian Robertson by score of 15-12
2 SETS SINGLES
Eric Charnock Cup
CHRIS IDE
Chris Ide set the early pace with a 7-0 shot lead but was overhauled in the first set by Derek Meechan. Chris rallied to level the match on sets and won the first 2 tie break ends to land the title

BUTCH SHAKESPEARE
Butch Shakespeare won the Committee Singles at his first attempt, He beat Nick Eager 21-15 to add to the 2 Wood Pairs won the previous day

TWO WOOD KO TRIPLES
The Harold Webster Trophy
Mike Belton, Chris Ide &
Keith Brinsmead
Chris Keith and Mike repeated their success of the previous year. All 3 played well throughout the competition and were good value for their win in the final
In the final they played Alan Messer, Derek Meechan and Roy Bland - winning comfortably with an end to spare.
VETERANS HC SINGLES
The Platt Cup
ROY BLAND
Appropriately the two oldest playing members of the club met in the final of the veterans handicap. After quite a few years as the bridesmaid - it was Roy's turn to win this year against first time finalist, Robin Saunders
DRAWN FOURS KO
The Presidents Shield
David Fairs, Butch Shakespeare, Stuart Logan & James Kerr
Another couple of fun, but keenly competitive evenings. Mal Spier couldn't make the final as he badly injured his shoulder but David Fairs was a very solid replacement for the wnners
SPOONS
The Atkins Cup
Mike Webster
The Atkins Trophy is now back with its rightful place on our club playing schedule. It allows our newer bowlers to learn their bowling art in a competitive framework. The trophy was won by Mike Webster winning his first individual trophy at Priory
MONDAY NIGHT TRIPLES LEAGUE
The Dave Evans Cup
Keith Brinsmead, Amber Logan, Mike Belton, Becks Bull and Mark Simmonds
The triples league was as ever keenly contested until the last match. This year the teams took on animal characteristics and this years winners were the Alligators
THE AGGREGATE LEAGUE
David Fairs
The Aggregate League attracted more players than ever this year and the cream at the top went to a very consistent David Fairs. The runners up money was won by Mark Harwood
