Janet Allen reflects on an emotional time for her but a thoroughly enjoyable evening for a large crowd at the climax of the Lindley BC £3,200 KO. Janet took over the organisation of this annual competition in memory of her brother John who ran the competition for many years before passing away last November.
'What a brilliant night of bowling. The weather was kind to us and we had a fantastic turn out. I think John would have been proud of it. I had so many lovely compliments and a message from Greame Wilson this morning saying it is the best competition and venue in Yorkshire, so after all the stress and worry I was delighted it went so well.'
Bill Blackburn provides this greenside report of Finals Day of the Lindley BC £3,200 KO competition staged on Friday evening.
'On a pleasant evening, a large crowd attended the Final of the Lindley £3200 competition and after some excellent bowling saw Ryan Clark defeat three times previous winner Graeme Wilson 21-17 in the final.'
Clark had a first round 21-18 win against county colleague Ian Booth, while in the top half of the draw Wilson came through 21-14 against Sam Day.
In the semi-finals Wilson beat Neil Slattery 21-14 who’d had a comfortable 21-9 win against Danny Radcliffe in the first round. In the other semi-final Clarke had a 21-15 win against 16/1 outsider John Greenhalgh who had accounted for last year’s runner-up Gareth Coates in the first round 21-15.
The trophy and prizes were presented by president, Michael Anderson and organiser Janet Allen assisted by the sponsors. The winner received £1000 as well as a bonus of £100 for the highest break in the final, a run of nine.
