The 3rd in the Series of BTBA back to bowling events was held at Mansfield, and stepping up to the role of tournament manager for this event was Allan Pearson and Sam Watson.
The event was re-entry doubles with squads on Saturday and Sunday and there were 3 divisions based on the teams combined average.
Start with division C – for teams with a combined average of 329 or less. This division was won by GASH (Grant Burfoot and Ash Hawkins) with a team total of 1038.
Division B – for teams with a combined average of 330-389. In 2nd on 1287 were the Monarchs (Gary Leaphard and Stuart Rushton), but the winners with a score of 1303 was the CrossPins team (Pete Sampson and Tom Devy)
Division A – is for the top twirlers and teams that have a combined average of 390 or more. In 2rd place were Ballistic Bowling (Gavin Greaves and Pete Stevenson) with a score of 1457, a 242 average. But the winners were Robbo’s Pro Shop (Louise Parker and Glen Robson) who shot 1475, a 245 average
All aboard the showboat …. Well done to Nathan Burrows on shotting his first sanctioned 300 and also to Jack Blyth for hitting a 300. A couple of 299’s from Welsh International James Footner and Yorkshire dame Katie Jowsey
Tournament manager also ran scratch pots, and this was won by Jack Byth with a 791, with Nathan Burrows with 753 and in 3rd was Gavin Greaves with 748
Individually Jack Blyth, Gav Greaves and Pete Stevenson all averaged over 230, and Dan Harding, Dan Davies, Adam Shrubb and the shimmery tanned Rob Thurlby all averaged over 220.
There were two Raffles being run to raise money for the local YBC – a YBC parent Liz Feek won the Radical Sizzle donated by sponsors BowlingVision and the local association also raffled off anther ball they had acquired and that was won by Dee Parker.
Another great tournament that saw 87 teams enter, and 62 different bowlers. As always thanks to the sponsors BowlingVision, PDQ, Striking Shirts, KC Components and Alman Engineering.
Thanks to you for bowling and of course to Mansfield bowl for hosting and to Sam and Allan for manging the event.
