Spring Waterloo

New Mills Dave Jackson picks up one of the games top honours winning the Spring Waterloo after a comfortable 21-12 final victory over Wales former Waterloo winner John Bailey. Jackson in good form after picking up the Allens Green title a couple of weeks ago demolished Dean Ferris 21-1 in his first round. Things were a bit tougher in the last 16 as Yorkshires Graham Hickey managed 15 against the Macclesfield man. It was an all Macclesfield tie in the quarters as Jackson came up against well fancied Grant Soller who was last years runner-up. Soller having played marvellously well in his first two games couldn't quite reproduce that form as Jackson went on to win 21-12. In the semi things got easier again with another demolition, this time of Whitchurch's Charlie Weaver 21-3. Jackson never looked like losing the final and went on to pick up the trophy and a cheque for £700. Other locals in action were John Hambleton who lost 21-17 to Terry Glover in Round 2, Gareth Gwilliam going out at the same stage to Bailey 21-7. And it was Bailey who ended Waggon & Horses Noel Burrows hopes in the semi final winning 21-16.
Well done Jacko !.

Longdendale Merit

Royal Oak's Mike Bacon wins the Longdendale Merit with a narrow 21-19 victory over Chapel Park's Steve Barber. Barber looked to have it in the bag leading for most of the way but Bacon put together a fighting finish and some very close bowls on the very difficult James North's green. Barber put out S.J Allen 21-17 in another close match whilst Bacon had it a bit easier playing some great stuff against Romiley Arms Keith Fantom, winning 21-8.
Thanks go to James North for the green and Bill Worthington and his wife for the refreshments and to young Jack Holland for his card marking and officiating in the final. And also to Andy Bilyk from the league for running the competition

Glossop BC - Kingsley Stafford Trophy - 4th May

It was a weekend to remember for one bowler especially after leading Derbyshire to a county win over Greater Manchester the previous day, for the first time in the Trophy's history, the previous year's winner, Keith Fantom (Romiley), retained the title on Bank Holiday Monday.

Keith defeated Roger Morgan (Sale) 21-12 in the final.

In the semi finals, Keith defeated James Dennis (Chesterfield) 21-7 with Roger defeating Gary Marshall (Chesterfield) 21-10.

The standard of bowling was very good throughout the day from all bowlers with some very close games. Glossop Bowling Club would like to thank all bowlers who played and thank them for their support.
