The Ladies Crown Green Bowling Association Top Lady competition was held at South Ramsey Bowling Club on Sunday is somewhat changeable weather conditions.  Format was changed slightly this year, in that 16 lady bowlers were invited to take part based on last season’s rankings. 

Getting through to the quarter finals were Gill Dixon (South Ramsey) who beat Hilary Kermode (Castletown A) 21-17;  Jenny Moore (South Ramsey) who beat her mum Elaine 21-13;  Bailey McMullan (Mooragh Park) who beat Rosie Winckle (Marown) 21-15;  Paula Garrett (Douglas) who beat Tracy Moore (Castletown A) 21-17;  Louise Tebay (Marown) who beat Lacey McMullan (Mooragh Park) 21-17;  Janet Monk (Mooragh Park) who beat Caroline Parker (Ballaugh A) 21-8;  Fiona Kennish (South Ramsey) who beat  Lynda Cadamy (Marown) 21-8, and Clare Cooper (Marown) who beat Stella Watterson (Castletown A) 21-10.

First quarter final pitted stablemates Jenny and Gill.  Jenny was a little too strong on the day for Gill winning 21-10.  Second quarter was a little tougher as Paula crossed the line 21-17 against Bailey.  Third quarter saw Louise make short work of her game against Janet winning 21-10 whilst the fourth quarter saw Clare, after a hard fought battle, win 21-18 against Fiona.

First semi was between Jenny and Paula.  Unfortunately for Paula, Jenny was getting into her stride and on end 17, Jenny led 19-10.  Despite Paula getting two singles and a double to bring the deficit back to 19-14, Jenny got the all important two on the 20^th end to win 21-14.  Second semi between Clare and Louise was mainly close all the way through with the score tied at 13 across on the 19^th end and like the other semi despite Louise getting another four points it wasn’t enough to stop Clare winning 21-17.

With both Clare and Jenny playing well, the final didn’t disappoint.  Clare started off very strongly leading 18-9 on the 21^st end, but never one for giving up Jenny fought back hard taking seven of the following eight ends to be one point behind Clare at 19-20.  A good second bowl on the next end by Clare was enough for her to take the win and title 21-19.  A great final with some exceptional bowling from both ladies.   Many congratulations to Clare on a well deserved win.

Presentation of trophy and prizes was made by Hilary Kermode, Ladies Association Committee member, who thanked South Ramsey for hosting the competition and providing much appreciated refreshments,  also thanking Clare Cooper and Jenny Moore, Competition Committee ably assisted by James Teare whilst Clare and Jenny were bowling, for the smooth running of the event before congratulating and handing over the trophy to Clare.
