Matt Gilmore wins Charity Handicap at Upton (Vics have 3 semi finalists)

 I have pinched this report from the excellent Wirral Bowls Forum administrator, Tom Bentley. I hope he isn’t after any copyright fees as I might have to miss a few games this year because of the high cost of fuel.

Spectators were treated to some high class bowling from a strong field at Upton last Saturday, when West Kirby Vic’s Matt Gilmore repeated his 1999 success with a win over clubmate and 2002 winner, Jamie Fitzpatrick, 21 - 10.
In the quarter finals Gilmore beat Queens Royal’s Craig Saville 21 -12, and followed up with a semi-final victory, again 21 - 12, against West Kirby Vic’s skipper, John Lloyd, who was involved in a tight game with Lever’s Dougie Briscoe in the quarters, before winning 21 - 19.
Jamie Fitzpatrick had beaten Chris Barton (Quarry Vikings) and David McDermott (Heswall RBL). McDermott survived a great comeback in the quarters by Tixall’s, Ian Hazlehurst, just weighing in 21 - 19.

Referee was John Crowther.
President Ted Sullivan presented the prizes along with Chairman Ken ‘Programmes’ Griffiths, General Secretary Roy Cooke, and Competition Secretary Peter ‘£2 Please!’ Dodd. Thank you gentlemen for the work you do for us.
