Soroptimists in the Leigh & District Club concluded a successful bowls season by ‘doing the double’ on Regional Finals Day.
[new_royalslider id=”13″]High points-scoring members from club teams throughout the Region competed in the day’s knockout competition. The semis saw Gail Farrer (SI Leigh & District) and Christine Fone (SI Widnes) win through. In the final, Gail’s consistent long-game led to her taking the match.
Margaret Cole, President of SI Crosby, presented Gail with the Tricia Fahey Cup. This trophy commemorates the Crosby club member who, when regional president, devised the regional bowls competition.
Regional President Sandy Taylor presented the President’s Rose Bowl to Margaret Molyneux and her Leigh team. Over the season they had gained the most points in their matches against Soroptimist clubs throughout the Region.
Dot Massey (regional bowls co-ordinator) said, “We were blessed with fine weather for our finals event, held once again in the splendid setting of Pennington Hall Park, Leigh.
“Members of four Soroptimist clubs were able to compete on the day – Widnes, Liverpool, Leigh & District, and Crosby.
“As always competition was keen. However, players and supporters showed their genuine appreciation of the skill and determination on show. It was a good day!”
