Isle of Man County Crown Green Bowling Association

Marown captain Paul Dunn travelled off island to compete in the Talbot competition at Layton Institute in Blackpool on Friday reaching the quarterfinals, then went on to play in the latter stages of the Autumn Waterloo at Fleetwood Bowling Club on Saturday having got through the initial qualifying day earlier in the season. Despite losing out in both competitions, Dunn enjoyed success in the West Shore 500 competition featuring 32 bowlers which was held on Sunday at Walney Island, Barrow in Furness in Cumbria – playing 21-up off scratch with home greeners eligible to enter.

In the final Dunn came up against Zach Walker (King Alfred) who was recently over for the Isle of Man festival, with Walker having won the September Tourism competition in 2024 the Crosby man knew he was going to be up against it, however Dunn took the win and £500 first prize.
