Congratulations to Bill & Will Roddan (Zetland) on winning the 37th running of the League Pairs Competition by beating Carl Gregson & Dan Finch (Burscough RBL & Banks St Stephens) 21-18 in a tightly contested final in front of a good crowd on a humid but cloudy September evening. In the final on the superb Longton VM No.1 green, the bowling was of a very high standard & the game was nip & tuck throughout & after the first 2 ends Bill & Will led 6-0 but after the next three the game was level at 6-6. Then for the next 4 ends, Bill led brillantly on his favourite 25 yard swinging mark assisted by his son, Will to lead 12-6. However, Carl & Dan clawed their way back into the game in the corners over the next 4 ends to level the scores at 12-12 before Bill & Will got in again & scored on the next 3 ends to make it 16-12 then Carl & Dan scored on the next 3 ends to lead 18-16 before Bill & Will scored a single on the next 5 ends to run out worthy winners of this coveted title. Duncan Crabtree (President) presented the trophy & prizemoney after Jason Wright (Chairman) had made a speech to thank everyone who was involved in running another successful competition including the final night hosts, Longton VM, the greenkeepers, the players, markers, measurers & secretary, Keith Robinson.
