The tournament attracted our biggest entry yet, with a field of 40 mainly UK based bowlers competing in the drawn doubles competition.

Partners were drawn on a daily basis and then played in group round-robin matches to determine daily results. A high standard of bowling was on display from all competitors.

At the end of the Tournament, there was a tie for first place between Geoff Watson (Whitby) and Lorraine Hirst (Huddersfield) resulting in a 5-end singles shootout to determine the overall winner, with Geoff clinching the trophy.

The weather was great and all the competitors enjoyed both the bowling and social side of the Tournament. The 2024 Tournament will run from 4th to 8th November and entry details are available on the Club website (www.alvorlawnbowls.com).

Alvor Bowls Club welcomes visitors and new members playing both flat green and crown green bowls and full details can be found on the website. Tuition and equipment can be provided for new bowlers. Crown green bowls takes place at the Club every Tuesday afternoon.
