Isle of Man County Crown Green Bowling Association

After a few years hiatus, on a warm and sometimes wet afternoon, Marown Bowling club held the Julia North Ladies Singles competition. With an entry of 20 bowlers there were some great games that were all played in lovely spirits, with the competition sponsored by Debbie Does Nails. All of the home green Ladies started off 5 with everyone else off 6.

The quarter final stage was a bit of ballaugh versus Marown, which saw Rose Waterworth 21 ended Lisa Pugh 15 of progressing any further. Lyn Bolton 21 made sure the sponsor Debbie Leece 18 wasn’t taking home any winnings. Jayne Smith 21 and Maria Dimsdale 16 had a close battle, and the final quarter winner Philippa Taylor 21 ended Michele Cubbon 12 good run.

The two finalists were on top form at the semi-final stage with Philippa winning 21-14 against Jayne and Rose 21-10 against Lyn.

The Final started with some top bowling from both players, after five ends Rose was leading 10-7. Philippa picked up a two and changed the length of play to win herself a few two’s and take the lead. After 14 ends the game was at 16-15 where Philippa found her mark and didn’t look back. Taking the win 21-15.

The presentation was made by Lisa Pugh and Debbie Leece our sponsor Debbie Does Nails, who thanked everyone who supported and helped on the day.
