Once again, the sun shone for Southbourne Bowls Club Finals Days. The spectators enjoyed some excellent bowling which, this year to fit in all the events spread over Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of September.
The Lewis Trophy match, the last of the day was also the most keenly fought with Jim Jennings and Antony Bull up against Calvin Soper and Robin Armstrong. Throughout the match the scores were very close and at the last end it was 19 all - an extra end had to be played when Antony Bull with his final wood somehow managed to get closest to the jack and give Jim and Antony the match.
Other close matches were the Men’s Pairs when Robert Jones and Antony Bull won against Paul Barker and Curtis Harrison and the Men’s Consolation when Dave Walter won against Calvin Soper.
Congratulations to Antony Bull who this year was Sussex County Champion of Champions and with a win against Steve Soper in the Men’s Singles now has the possibility of holding his Champion of Champions Trophy for a 2nd year.
Many thanks go to the organisers of the Club Competitions this year. Thanks also to other members who officiated at the Finals to help make it a successful and enjoyable event.
