This week saw the final matches played in the Indoor Bowls League, bringing the season to an exciting close.
Congratulations go to Dragons, who are the Premier Pairs League winners, Castletown Crofters, who claimed the First Division Pairs title, and Bowlistics, who secured the Triples League title.
Dragons pulled out all the stops to ensure their league title, sealing the win with an impressive 30-chalk advantage across the two sets in their final match. Simple Minds are in second place and Lee Don takes third.
In the First Division Pairs, Castletown Crofters needed to win at least one set to secure the title. Their first set ended in a draw, which meant the pressure was on to either win or draw the second set. However, by the end of the first set their nearest rivals, CC & Me, had lost their set to 1-in-4, confirming the title for Crofters. 1-in-4 went on to win the second set and held on to third place in the division.
In the Triples League, Bowlistics also required a set win to secure the title, and they duly delivered to clinch the title. The battle for second place remained undecided until the final ends. Optimists won both sets in their match to hold on to second place, while third-placed GGs drew their match.
As the season end, it’s clear that it has been one to remember. New players joined the leagues and made valuable contributions, improving steadily as the season progressed. Established teams battled it out for the top places, creating plenty of exciting competition along the way.
The championships were a great success, with many bowlers entering and showing their support. Overall, it has been a highly successful bowling season and one that provides a strong foundation for the future. The Committee would like to wish all players a very successful and enjoyable outdoor season.
The Committee and Players thank our sponsors The Copyshop for the continued support.
