Ladies Ramsey Town Cup 2024
Ramsey Town Cup Winner 2024
Bailey McMullanBailey McMullan in top form all afternoon.
A particularly good entry of 29 competitors played on Sunday afternoon 9th June at Mooragh Park in conditions that started dry but ended in light rain for the final stages.
This year’s competition was sponsored Peter Slinger of Safetynet in Onchan.
The juniors, from several clubs across the Island, showed in round two that they were a
force to be reckoned with taking excellent players like Caroline Parker, Lil Smith and Rose
Waterworth out of contention and themselves into the next round.
In the quarter finals juniors Katie Jacobs beat Allison Stockham 21-9, Bailey McMullan beat
Louise Tebay 21-12 and Lacey McMullan beat visitor Elaine Slack 21-19 which gave three juniors in the semi-final. The last quarter final was between Fiona Kennish and Grayse
Blencoe and although Grayse put up a good fight she just couldn’t match Fiona and the
game ended 21-11 to Fiona.
Into the semi-finals and Katie and Bailey’s game saw Katie pull ahead in the early stages but Bailey fought back winning the last 6 ends and ending the match to win 21-18. In the
other game Fiona and Lacey both played well but Fiona found a good mark for her, which
challenged Lacey on pace and therefore length ending the game 21-13.
A North versus South derby for the final and both players came out determined to their very best, but it was Bailey who took command of the game, from the start, and despite Fiona playing some great shots she just couldn’t get close enough to the jack in some very tight ends. The final score Bailey (North Ramsey) 21 Fiona (South Ramsey) 4.
The prizes were presented by Paul Slinger, who was representing his brother Peter of
Safetynet, who had sponsored the competition and stand in competition secretary Pat Lenton. Thanks were given by Pat to the sponsors, everyone who had entered the competition and all of the North Ramsey members who had worked hard to make the day a success.

Lil Smith Claims Gladys Cowell Over 60’s Title
The Gladys Cowell Ladies Over 60’s Open Competition was held at Peel Sunset Bowling Club on a glorious afternoon on Saturday 25th May. This competition has been supported by the Cowell family since 1993. There were 15 entries.
The quality of bowling was exceptional, after a few remarkably close games the outcome was that Lil Smith (Marown BC), and Terri Berry (Peel Sunset BC) reached the final. Lil was the more experienced bowler of the two finalists and bowled corner to corner with superb accuracy. Terri bowled equally well on the shorter lengths the final score was 21-14 to Lil, a very worthy winner. This was Terri’s first final and she bowled superbly throughout the competition.
The President, Lynda Wilson, thanked everyone attending the event and thanked the Cowell family for their continued support. The two semi-finalists, Joyce Kelly and Gill Clarke received prizes along with Terri as runner up and Lil as outright winner.
