The Province held its annual Crown Green Bowls finals day at St
Michael’s on Wyre Bowling Club with GB National President Mark and
Maxine Conroy in attendance. Mark was playing for his Circle
Burnley. Four circles had battled through earlier rounds to make to
the semi finals. Accrington played local rivals Burnley and Preston
14 played their local rivals Garstang. Accrington and Preston made in
to the final with Preston 14 running out the eventually winners. Just
as the last bowl was sent down the heavens opened so the trophy had to
be presented in the pub by Provincial President Mike O’ Malley to Team
Captain Paul Garstang. A damp Provincial group enjoyed a good meal
organised by Lawrence and Barbara Turner of Garstang Circle. A good
time was had by all.
