hit the Trophy trail

IN the Bolton Darts League in aid of the Bolton Senior Gateway Club for Mentally Handicapped Adults, The Gateway Trophy for Ladies Pairs was played at the RAOB Club, Derby Street and the Moonlight Club, St Georges Road when they played down to two pairs at each venue.

In this event the pairs are not picked by the players, they are drawn out on the night for who plays together.

This is done to give an equal chance for everyone at the RAOB Club. The winners were Bev Ryding/Marie Watts who beat Janet Robishaw/ Doreen Stewart in the semi finals. The other winners were Mavis Naylor/Joan Millar who beat Sharon Price/Kath Lawson in their semi finals.

At the Moonlight Club the winners were Shirley Holden/Maureen Taylor who beat Alison Lomax/Gina Jones in the semi finals. The other winners were Dawn Lowe/Ellen Wareing who beat Edith Stephens/Flo Bell in their semi finals.
