Results and information by Jack Smith

Kevin Lamb wins

The final stop of the 2018 season took place at the ever popular Shipley bowl, with some places in the masters still up for grabs some bowlers would have to have a good stop to qualify in top 24 for masters final. The format for this event would see the top 4 bowlers in qualifying straight through to round 4, the next 16 bowlers would be seeded into groups of 4 and the top 2 bowlers on each pair of lanes would advance to the next round. On a good scoring pattern for the 47 bowlers taking part there would be a chance for some high scores.

Leading the way was multiple stop winner Gary Barlow with 1384 inc bonus. Rounding out the top 4 and earning a bye to round 4 would be Shipley bowl owner Jeff Taylor 1344 Veteran leftie Ron Deacon recovering from a 137 first game to post 1324 and another bowler with a welcome return to form Les Grant also on 1324 inc a 267 scr game. Just missing out on the top four by 2 pins would be Barry Walker 1322 with no bonus and a new bowler on the tour Helen Birdsall also 1322 with bonus. A further 2 pins behind was Suren Johannsen 1320 and Andy Clough 1315.

The cut for the top 20 fell at 1234 with bonus Ian Kennedy. Round 2 and bowlers place 5 to 20 would now compete in 2 game shootout with top 2 on each pair of lanes advancing. Group 1 would see Ian Kennedy 437 and Barry Walker 392 Advance, group 2 Al Turner 450 and Suren Johannsen 420 going through by a mere 2 pins from Andy Clough. Group 3 winners would be Pat Byrne 407 and Kevin Lamb 389. Group 4 would see Ron Oldfield 469 and Mike Taylor 418 progress. Round 3 would see 2 exciting groups with winning places going to the last frame in both groups. Group 1 would see Ron Oldfield 443 and Ian Kennedy 432 just edging out Barry Walker 422. Groups 2 and Kevin Lamb blasted his way to 522 also going through Pat Byrne 431 just in front of Suren Johannsen 421. Round 4 and the top 4 from qualifying would join the winners from round 3 for 2 games to determine the 4 finalists.

Semi final 1 would see the 2 Ronnies Oldfield 476 and Deacon 408 progress at the expense of Ian Kennedy 370 and Les Grant 396. Semi final 2 would prove to be the most thrilling Jeff Taylor would make it comfortably with 518, the other 3 bowlers separated by a mere 9 pins with Kevin Lamb 464 just in front of Pat Byrne 461 and Gary Barlow with a valiant 267 scr second game just falling short on 455. So the four finalists would now play 2 more games to determine the Shipley stop champion.

Game 1 would see Ron Deacon take a small lead over Kevin Lamb and Jeff Taylor, Ron Oldfield with a nightmare 123 game would be out of it. Into game 2 and what a game it was for Kevin Lamb as strike after strike would see him triumph but could he complete the first ever 300 on the Resdev Senior Tour. With the crowd behind lanes 1 and 2 cheering every shot Kevin got past 10 strikes then 11 and now the final shot and a stubborn 10 pin left him with a 299 and 521 and now the highest ever game on the tour and the pleasure if becoming Shipley stop Champion. Holding on for 2nd place Ron Deacon 433 ahead of Jeff Taylor 405 and Ron Oldfield 356.

So another stop over and yet another new winner, meaning we have had 5 different winners at the stops for the 2nd year running, and just the masters left to play in the 2018 season on 7th October at Mansfield Superbowl.
