TOTNES Bowling Club’s championships, which had taken place throughout the season, drew to a close on the first weekend of September.

The finals of all competitions were played over two morning sessions and two afternoon sessions.

In all, there were 15 competitions completed ranging from mixed triples, mixed pairs, men’s and ladies pairs, handicap and various other trophies. The weekend’s weather meant that all matches were able to be completed without any delays and all competitions were keenly fought with several going down to the very last shots.

It all culminated on the Sunday afternoon with the men’s and ladies club champions being decided.

John Leonard faced Paul Gallon for the men’s championship whilst the ladies’ was up for grabs between Jenny Goss and Carol Treadwell.

Both competitions were competitively fought with John Leonard and Jenny Goss being the victorious duo.
