BOROUGH PAIRS COMPETITIONS 2010

FINAL RESULTS 2010

The semi-finals and finals of the 2010 Boro Pairs competitions took place at the Reigate Priory Bowls Club on Sunday 4th September 2010.

In fine weather, there was some excellent bowling and a very enthralling finish particularly in the Ladies’ final between last year’s winners (Eileen Baldry and Pat Capper) and a new entry from Monotype (Gill Tarrant and Marie Sanderson). The game was very tight throughout with the advantage changing several times. With the scores tied 16 each at the end of the game, an extra end had to be played during practically all of which the holders were in the lead but their opponent’s skip with her last-but-one bowl put one on the jack.

The Men’s final started with the eventual winners gaining 9 shots in the first two ends but by the sixth end the score was 9-8. The lead did not change hands at all but the match remained very tight – 15-13 after thirteen ends – with a finishing score of 21 -15.
The semi-finals also produced some good entertaining bowling with matches much closer than the score always showed.

In both the morning and afternoon, there were a large number of supporters and other spectators to enjoy good competitive bowling in a most pleasant setting.

At the end of the finals, the Surrey Mirror trophies and prizes were presented to winners and finalists by Louise Poynton, Group Sports Editor, East Surrey and Sussex Newspapers.

The Reigate Priory Club proved excellent hosts for the event and Jeni Stewart and the club’s team of workers were congratulated and thanked for all their efforts.

INCREASED SUPPORT FOR THE BORO PAIRS COMPETITIONS

The Borough Pairs Bowls Competitions for the Surrey Mirror Trophies has attracted 38 pairs for the Men’s competition (6 more than last year) and 15 pairs for the Ladies’ (up 1). These competitions are organised by the Reigate and Banstead District Sports Council (rb sport) for bowlers resident in the Borough (or who are members of clubs within the Borough),

Members of 7 local clubs have entered together with 4 other residents of the Borough who play at a club in Crawley. There are 8 ladies and 25 men entering for the first time this year, one of whom is Allan Thornhill, the international umpire who is frequently seen officiating when bowls is shown on TV and is going to India in October to officiate at the Commonwealth Games; Allan is a life member of Monotype Bowls Club.

The draw was made on 8th June at the Reigate Priory Bowls Club by their Men’s and Ladies’ Captains (Alan Goldsworthy and Jeni Stewart). The playing schedule, showing participants and their first matches, can be accessed from the Bowls Competitions pages of this website. The schedule will be updated as matches are completed.

Matches are to be played at outdoor clubs in the Boro between now and the end of August with semi-finals and finals on Saturday 4th September 2010 at Reigate Priory Bowls Club.
