The Ladies Association Isle of Merit (Barbara Lee trophy) was played on Saturday 4 July at Finch Hill Bowling.   This is the first time this competition has been played as a qualifier for the BCGBA Champion of Champions which is due to be held at Owleywood BC at the end of September. The Merit attracted an entry of 17 ladies; games played to 21 off scratch.

The final was a one-way affair with Jenny dominating from the start.  Despite Jayne trying her best and playing some good bowls, Jenny ran out 21-5 to add this to the Ladies Manx Champion title she won last weekend.  Jenny is certainly a force to be reckoned with!
