The Club Competition 2026 Finals were played on Saturday 29th August despite the the persistent rain which made is a challenge for players and spectators alike.
The Singles Final, between Chris Davidson and Elizabeth Johnson, proved a close fought game with both players bowling some outstanding woods. It was nip and tuck all the way until the score was 18-18, when a win beckoned tantalisingly for each player. In a dramatic last end Chris managed to score three shots giving him the win, 21-18. It was an entertaining game to watch for the hardy souls who came to support the finalists.
After a chance to rest … and to dry out! … Elizabeth was back on the green for the Pairs Final, partnered with Denise Mackie. They took on Darren Lightbody and Jen Middleditch. The weather got worse with water beginning to puddle on parts of the green. Incredibly this was another very close game with all the players bowling their (very wet) socks off! The score was very close with Elizabeth and Denise keeping their noses in front until the 16th end when Darren and Jen took the lead to go 11-10 in front, they then took two shots on the 17th and three on the 18th to secure the win 16-10.
A big thank you to all the finalists for playing so well under such wet conditions and making it an enjoyable afternoon for the spectators. And thanks also to David Donovan for his sterling work as Marker for the Singles Final.
