Isle of Man County Crown Green Bowling Association

22 teams took part in the Breagle Glen any combination threesomes open competition, with the rain just about holding off for most of the competition, with the number taking part matching the 2024 entry.

In the first semi-final it was an all Breagle affair with Mavis Franks, Trevor Quayle, and Ewan Cooil taking on Steve Durcan, Bernie Durcan, and Seamus Whelan, with the latter trio losing out 17-21 as they conceded a four on the 13^th end, otherwise they had matched their clubmates point for point over the course of the game.

With an all Breagle affair in the first semi-final it had to be an all-South Ramsey affair in the other semi-final as the Ladies took on the men with Elaine Moore, Joyce Odgen, and Kim Hargraves up against John Kennish, David Bradford, and Jordan Cain. The Ladies had matched the men point for point and blow for blow up with the score tied at 16-16, only the men to make their move and finish the game off 21-16 to book their spot in the final.

With a guaranteed Breagle Glen versus South Ramsey final, the Ramsey men took an early 11-7 lead, only for this to be wipes out in two ends as they conceded a three and a two to the Breagle Trio to trail 11-12.

By the 10^th end the score was tied 15-15, only for Kennish, Bradford, and cain to score a three, only to immediately concede a two to leave the game finely poised at 18-17 to the visiting bowlers. Three singles at the business end of the game were enough to seal a 21-17 victory over the home greeners in an entertaining final.

Steve Durcan presented the prizes, thanked all those that took part in the competition, Angie Bennett for running the sheet, and everyone that had helped throughout the day.
