Despite the hot weather today, 40 bowlers began their quest to become the new Welsh Open champion. 40 became 32 after the first round, which then became 16 after the 3rd round, leaving only 8 in the final round.
The final 8 was made up of Steve Thornton, Adam Michaels, Pete Stevenson, Liam Fitzpatrick, Mark Coles, Brandon Roberts, Jason Agate and Laura Marcham.
A few VERY close and exciting games saw the table fluctuate throughout the finals apart form one spot, first, which was held by Pete from the first to the last game.
Stepping onto the podium was Steve Thornton finishing in 3rd, Jason Agate in 2nd and Pete Stevenson in 1st place.
We would like to pay special thanks to our tournament sponsors, Molson Coors and Mint Sportswear, TBAW, all of our competitors throughout the 4 days and all of the staff here at Stroud Bowl for helping to make this tournament another success.
Congratulations to all that bowled in this years event, hope to see you all again next year!
