Filey hotshots snap up double success

-

The finals of the Scarboroug­h & District Open Flat Green Bowling League Knockout Cup and Webster Plate took place at Seamer Bowling Club.

Filey v Thornton-le-Dale played for the Cup, with Filey winning after a close finish.

Scalby and Newby won the Webster Plate competitio­n against Burniston and Cloughton.

Filey were also successful in winning the League Shield for this season.

It was an excellent evening of bowling played in glorious sunshine and supported by a large number of spectators.

Castleton Danby & District Bowls Club brought their season of Wednesday triples club competitio­ns to a close last month.

It proved close competitio­n for all seven teams throughout the series and the winners were Bill Filer, Guisboroug­h, Carol Harrison, Lealholm, and Linda Dove, Guisboroug­h, by just one point.

Their trophies were so delicate they didn`t dare take them out of the boxes.

The club enjoyed a very successful season overall, finishing third in the Cleveland League behind winners Skelton and runners-up Guisboroug­h Priory and third in the Langburgh league.

The club, always keen to sign up new members, run a social bowling night throughout the season as well as many friendly matches for new starters.

So, if the Commonweal­th Games inspired you to give the game a try, ring Ann Watson 01287 660577, Laurie Pearson 01947 897305, or Pete Smith 01287 660839.
