SMIBL Singles Competition held on 26th October 2024
It was a brilliant day enjoyed by 24 competitiors from across different divisions within the Stockport Metro league. It allowed to have 6 groups with 4 players in each group. There were some very close games across the whole day and was brilliant to see people staying after they had been knocked out to help support other players.
The group winners ended up being Darren Lloyd, Mick Murphy, Peter Roberts, Chris Crowther, Mark McHugh and Mike Clancy with the two runners up being Clint Crowther and Tony Stevens.
After the quarter finalswe were down to 4 players into the semi finals, Mike Clancy vs Chris Crowther and Tony Stevens vs Mick Murphy. There were some very close games again in the semi finals where both games could have gone either way. With Mick Murphy and Mike Clancy coming out on top to face each other in the final.
In the final with very consistent bowling Mike Clancy came out on top against Mick Murphy with a score of 11-4.
Congratulations to Mike Clancy on winningthe Premier Bowls singles.
A big thank you to our sponsor Premier Bowls for sponsoring this competition.
The Heatons
We are very sorry to lose The Heatons and on behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank them for their positive contribution to the league over many years. Teams were always assured of a warm welcome and an enjoyable afternoon when visiting The Heatons ........ 'Doris & Enid' and all the team will be sorely missed.
