“The BetVictor Weber Cup is a highlight of the bowling calendar. Big crowds, the best players and the high stakes of representing your continent ensure we see unrivalled drama on the famous Weber Cup lane every year, and 2020 in Leicester will be no different” added Barry.
BetVictor Director of Sportsbook Matt Scarrott said: “Our partnership with Matchroom covers a number of sports and we’re very pleased to add tenpin to the mix by sponsoring the Weber Cup for the first time ever. We’re excited to be strengthening our relationship with Matchroom group and to tap into the sports’ growing fanbase.”
