As some of you may be aware the Bowls England National Competitions are underway. The competitions include Mixed Pairs, Mixed Fours, Champion of Champions, Family Pairs and Senior Events (Singles & Pairs).
In the Family Pairs in the first round there have been good wins for Jimmy & James Askwith (WK) defeating Steve & Jack Miller (G), and Les & Chris Yeomans recording an impressive home win over Dan & Michael Bennett (ST & G). Another tie saw New Delaval Knight Pair of brother and sister – Tom & Victoria Symons travel to Rothbury to face Rob & Graeme Donkin – the Delaval Pair recorded an impressive away win where Victoria skipped the pair to their victory.
In the other events there has been only a couple of games – one in the Mixed Pairs where Brian Davidson & Victoria Symons again, winning at Gosforth against Steve Miller. And in the Champion of Champions apart from a couple of walk-overs the only game that has been played saw Gosforth club colleagues Michael Cymber take on Mick McGreevy, and Cymber won a close contest.
I will try and keep you up to date with these events as they progress – this will also include Top Club, and Club Two Fours events.
