MILLSY AND MO ON FIRE
14th May 2007

In the final the Millsy’s met fellow home bowlers Tony & Margaret Whitehouse. It has to said that the Millsy’s fought through the tougher half of the draw with a semi final against Tony & Janet Moxham and Quarter final against Bill & Maureen Higginson; while the Whitehouses had a semi final against Ray & Wendy Holmes and a quarter final against Liam Howard & Irene Murray.

The final was played in stormy conditions but still produced an excellent standard of bowling. With Mo Mills leading consistently on long marks the Millsy’s always maintained a comfortable lead through out the match and eventually ran out at 21-12.

The King Alfred Committee would like to thank Peter McDowell of Barrow Central Joiners for his sponsorship and everyone who helped on the day.

WHITEHOUSE CLAIMS COUNTY MERIT CROWN
31st March 2007
Tony Whitehouse won the Cumbria Senior Merit held today at Heversham Bowling Club, beating Roy Moxham in the final. On a green unfamiliar to the vast majority of the 34-strong field, many bowlers found the conditions hard to master. Whitehouse played consistently all day especially on the longer lengths, beating Ian Nicholson in the quarters 21-13 and Barry Lowden in the semis 21-13.

In the final, it was nip 'n tuck early on, before Tony forged ahead 16-7. A dogged fightback by Roy and 3 or 4 loose ends from Tony saw the gap narrowed to 13-16. It wasn't to be for the BAE man though, Tony played a great bowl to re-claim the jack and again went away on his favourite corner-to-corner mark. Final score 21-14.

This is Tony's third victory in this event; the first one being 20 years ago in 1987. Both Tony and Roy qualify for the All England Championships being held in Wolverhampton on Saturday 28th July. Tony's win also gives him a place in the prestigious 'Champion of Champions' event at the Waterloo Hotel in Blackpool.

STRONG ARM OF THE LAW
25th March
Lindal's Graham Law took the honours in the first singles competition of the season, beating Andy Thornton in the final of the King Alfred Charity Singles Competition.

Thornton beat his long-time doubles partner Tony Whitehouse in the semi-final, while Law beat Paul Curwen.

Earlier on, Maureen Higginson caused the day's big sensation in beating Bill Burgess on her way to the quarter-finals.

Well done to Keith Mills and Dave Whitehead for their hard work in running the comp smoothly, and mention must also be made of the fantastic playing surface; the Alfred looks like being one of the best greens in the area again this year.
