Nearly 50 bowlers from all divisions plus 30 non-playing guests attended our annual President's Day in honour of Ducan Crabtree & hosted by his club, Longton VM. The weather was a lot better than forecasted being very humid with only a few spots of rain throughout the afternoon until a heavy shower hit briefly during the well-contested final. After 7.5 hours of high-quality competitive bowling, Darren Edgerley (Hesketh Arms) retained his title as the winner of the 2025 League President's day by defeating Alec Everton (Croston Black Horse) 21-19 in a highly competitive & close final which could of gone either way. Losing Semi-Finalists were Dave Aindow (Fleetwood Hesketh) & Colin Moore (London Spynx).
The day was once again enjoyed by everyone present, which included a superb tea. Play throughout the day was of the highest standard on the superb greens which were a credit to the greenskeeper. After the final, Mr Duncan Crabtree, presented the prizes to the winners & thanked his club & league members in helping run another excellent event & all the competitors who had taken part. He finished by saying that he had fully enjoyed his day & thanked the league for his engraved tankard which he would treasure.
