Friday Evening Two Bowl Pairs.

Friday 3 July 2026.

Since the competition was introduced a few year's ago, it had been very popular with a full entry of twelve pairs, but for several reasons this year there were only eight.

This gave two groups of four, which is a good number because it means every team is playing in all three rounds.

Group One winners were the pairing of Peter Rogers and John Haigh with four points and a shot difference of +2. Runner up were the team of Tom Riley and Ken Hayes, also with four points, but a shot difference of +1.

Group Two winners, with a clean sweep of wins, and six points, were the pairing of Phil Syddall and Dennis Williams. The runner up, by the skin of their teeth, were Blair Hamilton and James Campbell with two points and a better shot difference by one point than their nearest rivals, (Christine & David Travis).

Phil and Dennis continued their unbeaten run against Tom and Ken in the semi-final and Blair and James overcame Peter & John. Both winning pairs qualify for Final's Weekend on Saturday/Sunday 12/13 September 2026.
