Peel Sunset Bowling Club hosted the Lancaster Cup Open competition on Sunday 27th April.

Lancaster’s have been sponsoring this competition over the last ten years; A Peel business supporting local clubs. This was a men’s doubles. 21 pairs entered and handicaps were applied.

Under blue skies and warm sunshine, the competition started with five preliminary round games, 10 clubs were represented. There were some really close games and some excellent bowling.

Onto the semi-finals the Marown favourites Neil Withers and Paul Dunn knocked out Peel pair Tommy McMeiken and Andy Jackson with Dougie Allan and Harry Kelly (Peel) battling it out against Peter Jones and Glenn Boland with the Peel men winning 21-19.

The final therefore was a Marown versus Peel affair, Dougie and Harry built up a lead after 9 ends 14-10 but Neil and Paul managed a full house on the 10th end 14-14. After the 13th end they were neck and neck at 16 across with the Marown pair gaining ground on the last 2 ends winning 21-16. Both pairs played brilliantly.

Peels President, Dave (Barney) Kelly presented the prizes. As Peel’s new Men’s Competition Secretary Pip Pemberton ran his first open competition smoothly.
