Calvert Cup report 2017
It was a nice sunny red hot day for this year's Calvert Cup Competition, which was kindly hosted by Treeton.
There were some very close and exciting matches, and both sets of finalists had some close games in the lead up to the final.
Alan Goddard and John King just won a very close semi-final game 21- 20 against David Hamilton and Bob Burridge from Firbeck, after 5 dead ends with the score locked at 20-20.
Mark Gilbank and Graham Chambers won through a tight semi-final match against Roy Gilbank and Paul Schofield 21-19.
In the final, Mark and Graham proved too hot to handle and ran out 21-12 winners of the tournament.
We would like to thank Treeton Bowling Club for supplying some excellent refreshments throughout the day, and we are sure that all who attended had an enjoyable day.

Calvert Cup 2016
Kings'
green was a little on the slow side due to last week's downpours but the rain
held off and the disappointingly small crowd witnessed some excellent bowling.
Alan and John took control of the first Semi at 5-5 to go 17-7 up. Denis and
Brian managed three singles but Alan and John hit back with two singles and
a double to win 21-9.
The second Semi was a classic game of two halves. Roy and Paul were leading
15-9 but Kev and James scored twelve points without response over the next
six ends to win 21-15.
There was some brilliant bowling in the Final on both short and long marks.
Kev and James went into a 16-8 lead, Alan and John recovered to 16-15 but
Kev and James kept the pressure on to win 21-15
