2023 Halycon Cup

 

President Gale presenting Trophy to Pres. Tom

The second annual Halycon Cup was played in beautiful autumn conditions on Monday 12th June.   This event was introduced last year with the Women's club playing against the Men's club. We had 16 members from each club competing with 4 rinks of fours.  18 ends were played with the winners decided by total aggregate scores.

The rink wins were shared with 2 apiece.  The winners, by a very close margin,  were the men.   71 shots to 66.    All enjoyed the day and the women will be out for 'revenge' next year.  

2023-2024 MINOR SINGLES

Winner      Beverley Collins

The 2023-2024 Minor Singles were completed on 10th June.  We had 15 entries which was pleasing to see.    We saw great bowls from these ladies with some very close games.

Semi-finals:   

Beverley Collins def  Natasha McDowall    

Katie Brown  def  Cheryl Catchpool

The final between Bev and Katie was played on Saturday 10th June.  They had ideal conditions with clear blue sky and only a slight breeze.   Both players started off well however Bev gradually got ahead with a good lead.  Katie fought back but after 3 1/2 hours Bev finally got the shots she needed to take out the match.    Congratulations to both players.  The spectators certainly were entertained with great bowls. 

Bev has been trying for 11 years to win this event, so well done.   I am sure we will see Katie in the final again in the future.
