Whiting Bay bowlers lift centenary trophy

With the Laidler Gardner and Federation competitions behind them, Brodick Bowling Club played host to the other island clubs on Saturday June 17 when they competed for the Brodick Centenary Trophy.

It was a lovely sunny day, and the green was in perfect condition.

By a narrow margin, one of the triples teams from Whiting Bay emerged as the winners.

By the second half of June the club was able to concentrate on its domestic competitions, which were now proceeding apace, but there was also time for regular rink games.

The winners of these have been:

June 3, Andy McCrindle and Robert Crawford (+9); June 5, John McConnachie, Teddy Kerr and Robert Crawford (+12); June 7, John Lauder and Ernie Stanger (+2); June 10, John Lauder, Kate Nichols and Ann Hollingworth (+13); June 12, Robert Crawford, Andy McCrindle and John McConnachie (+16); June 14, Aileen Latona, Kenny Mabon and Robert Crawford (+8); June 19, Robert Crawford and Lavinia Hendry (+15); June 21, Jim Gourlay and Robert Crawford (+12); June 24, Colin Haggarty and John Lauder (+12); June 26, Charles Hendry and Andy McCrindle (+19); June 28, Ian Davidson and Andy McCrindle (+28).

A spokesman for Brodick Bowling Club said: ‘We have been delighted to welcome several new members this season, and trust that they will enjoy their bowling as much as the rest of the membership.’
