Club
Championship 2014
Congratulations
to
Kevin Jones on winning his first club championship. He doubtless
would have won many more if he hadn't played bowls during the summer in
previous years. Jon Wilkinson, in his first year at the club,
lead for a large part of the year and finished four points behind
Kevin. George Hall was third and last year's winner Mark
Calderbank fourth. Thanks to
all players for supporting
the club this year, where our average attendance has been the highest
since 2008.

Mark wins in
London
Many congratulations
to Mark Calderbank who won the Hippodrome Cup in London on May 11th
beating world number one Mochy in the final.
One Day Tournament 6th April
The 12th annual
tournament at Manchester Bridge Club on 6th April attracted a full
house of 56 entrants, with players from as far as London, Birmingham
and Bangor as well as Northerners from Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire
and Manchester.
The event ran smoothly with everyone playing five 5 point matches in
the late morning/afternoon followed by a Main KO final for the top 16
and a Consolation KO for the remainder. There was also a last
chance KO for those who lost early in the Main and Consolation finals
and a 1 point KO which ran throughout the day.
Former British champion Rachel Rhodes emerged as worthy winner, beating
Kevin Jones in the final. Rachel and Irving had an exciting
semi-final watched by a good sized audience - see photo below for a
critical cube decision.
Buffet food was provided for lunch and tea. Thanks to Lorraine
Lighton for the tea (lunch was provided by a catering firm) and to
Irving Czechowicz for directing on the day. Also to Annette Jones
for scoring and Rodney and Lorraine Lighton for administration, to club
members for helping set up the room and clearing up and to Manchester
Bridge club for hosting the event.
