County Final’s Day


This year’s finals had a spread of new faces and younger faces and the winners were well spread out as nobody won two events


In the morning session there were some fine but unsuccessful comebacks which made for exciting watching from a welcome crowd of spectators. In the Under 25 Singles Reece Graham was 15-4 down after 13 ends and managed to get ahead at 18-17 after 24 ends. Dan Kasper found the strength to pull himself together and secure the win over the last 3 ends to win 21-18


We had a similar story in the Men’s Pairs when Leigh Allen and Adam Clark stormed off to be leading 13-2 after 10 ends. Although Mike Leeson and Colin Thresher were 5 down playing the last end, they still had hope when Mike was holding four good shots after his deliveries. It was still looking good for Victory until Adam closed the door by placing a bowl in the centre of the head. Adam retained the pairs title with his new partner, Leigh 16-13


We had some young lads from Banister Park, Liam and Charlie May, Dan Cookman and Luke Bell, who played with determination and enthusiasm to beat an established Victory team of Dave Watts, Phil Drewball, Paul Lawrence and John Biggs. The match was close at 10 all after 11 ends, but the young lads were leaping around and high fiving when they scored a five and two threes to run out winners 21-12


The afternoon session was a bit more sedate when in each case the winners pulled away for convincing wins. The same young lads from Banister, Liam May, Charlie May and Luke Bell ran out of enthusiasm when the experienced trio of Mike Leeson, Barry Starks and Colin Thresher won 17-6


The Over 60 Triples team from Chawton Park were competing well up to 10 all after 9 ends, but Loddon Vale trio of Gary Taylor, Jeff White and Geoff Green then scored heavily to win 22-12


In the mixed pairs, Derek Healy and Kath Patrick had a glimmer of hope when after 10 ends they were only four shots behind, but Gary and Alice Lovett then applied some pressure and won the match 18-9


Kevin Smith of Atherley stamped his authority on the Singles match against Pete Cummins of Banister Park by winning the first five ends. He continued to dominate and became the 2023 Hampshire Singles Champion with a score of 22-9


Congratulations to all the winners and finalists for putting on a good show of bowling and thanks to the spectators and supporters for attending the event

Trisham Trophy

In the final league match of the season, Palmerston had the chance to clinch the Trisham Trophy if they won all 10 points in the match oday against Victory. In the end they fell just short, winning by 99 shots to 69 and 9 points to 1. This left them level with Chawton Park, both on 44.5 points, but with a slightly worse shot difference of 63 against 75 so congratulations to Chawton Park who finish the season in second place behind Loddon Vale
