DESPITE a disappointing turnout for the Bolton Mills Bowling Competition's President's Plate some high-quality play was on show, not least when league secretary Clive Fenn edged out his team's captain to take the trophy.

Sunday's tournament, held at the Kings Head, saw Fenn and his BCC Booths A team-mate Malcolm Cummings qualify, along with Denver Becket of King's Head B and Railway M's Brenda Fenn.

The battle of the Fenns in the semi-final went Clive's way while Becket exited the competition at the hands of Cummings.

The final then saw Fenn beat his club captain, 21-13 the final score.

For next year's event organisers are looking to introduce a format that will lead to more bowlers participating. Suggestions should be sent to Clive Fenn at clive.fenn@flowtechdesign.com
