The South East County Challenge is back for another year. Started in 2012 – with a break between 2020-2022 for the Rona pandemic. Traditionally this is an invitational tournament for the counties in around the M25ish sort of region, but this year I extended the invitation out to Dorset, Northants, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
It’s a tournament where counties make up teams from across the age groups, mixing up the team and giving all those who entered their counties trials a chance to pull on a county shirt. Some use it as practice for the main team, some use it as a kinda development tournament for the squad players – it’s something for everyone to be honest.
Thanks to the long term supporter of this event Bowling Vision we are able to get some raffle prizes and each county are encouraged to sell tickets and raise some money. This year we raised a total of £1,140 across the counties. Which is a fantastic effort.. and its vital funds for every local association. I can’t thank Bowling Vision enough. Two Balls = over 1000quid raised. Their support really goes far.
Pictured are the tournament winners Hampshire Men ( Ryan Lakey, Alan Meades, Jim Allan, Lewis Johnson, Nick Longworth)
Our ball winners from the raffle were Jamie Gore and Vincenzo Orlando won the STAR prize a Brunswick Mesmerize – a ball that’s not even out till August !! – you got to be investing in one of these… it’s making BIG waves across the pond – https://shop.bowlingvision.com/Catalogue/Pro-Shop/Balls/Brunswick-Mesmerize-60-108217
