Men’s League

Keith reports a successful season:
Nick Bantock was presented the Championship Trophy 2024 in our Monday Morning Men’s Lawn Bowling League on August 26th. Our league plays Scotch Pairs each week, which helps put skips and leads on an equal level in the standings. Nick proved to be accurate and consistent throughout the year finishing firmly in 1st place. Congratulations Nick!
The Monday Morning Men’s League registered 28 gentleman this year. Even with some men attending only a few games during the season, our league still averaged over 20 participants each week. We award points for participation as well as winning each week, and finished our season with a ‘one day playoff’ tournament. Top prize in the playoff tournament for 2024 went to Geoff Poulton playing at the lead position and Bill Mills playing at the skip position. Congratulations to Geoff and Bill.
The greens were consistently in good condition and the competition friendly and fun. The Men’s League 2024 thank everyone involved in our club for another successful season.
