Ladies’ and Men’s Singles Competition
On Sunday September 4th eight ladies and eleven men gathered to compete for the Ladies’ and Men’s Singles Competition. The Ladies’ Trophy was kindly donated by Margaret Nelson, and the Men’s by the late Peter Shaw. The bowling began at 1.40pm and finished at 6.20pm: for those who won through the rounds to the finals it was a long afternoon requiring stamina as well as skill. The weather was mixed with slight rain at one stage followed later by hot sunshine. The finalists were Julie Wharfe and Susan Ellis in the Ladies’ Competition, and John Cross and Adrian Salt in the Men’s. After a closely fought game, which was nip and tuck, Susan won the Ladies’ Competition by a score of 21 – 19; and John Cross won by 21 – 15.
