Peter's first game saw him up against 2 times championship winner ('95 & '99) David Coultas (Humberside). Coultas was never in trouble claiming the game 13-1. Peter recovered well in his second game to claim a 12-7 win over Jim Neal (Cheshire) and give himself a chance of qualification.

Mark Jones (Surrey) provided the opposition in the final group game for Peter. A closely fought game saw Jones eventually take the win 9-10 and top spot with three wins out of three. Coultas took the second qualification spot on shot difference from Hore and Neal tied and the bottom of the table.

Jones progressed through the knockout stages eventually losing in the final to Trevor Brown (Oxfordshire) whilst Coultas lost out 9-8 Simon White (Cheshire) in the second round.

Sunday - Triples

On the final day of the championships Cornwall were represented by Nicholas Truscott, Nigel Nicholls & Peter Hore in the Triples.

The trio started well with a 12-5 win against the Buckinghamshire team of Brian Latham, Joan Northcott & Val Northcott. The second game saw the previous days losing Fours finalists Steve Proctor, Ste Tinsley & Steve Burrows from Cheshire provide the opposition. A tight match eventually went the way of Cornwall 9-5.

With two wins already in the bag Cornwall went into the last game against the East Sussex team of Malcolm Beard, Paul Seaman & Andrew Beard knowing that a place in the last 32 was already secure. With the East Sussex team also already sure of a last 32 place a closely fought game ensued with East Sussex just edging it 8-7.

The last 32 saw Cornwall up against Roger Green, Gareth Townend and Rose Haynes (North Yorkshire). An initial exchange of 3 scores on the first two ends was followed up by scores of 3, 1, 2 and 2 for North Yorkshire as they opened up a 11-3 lead. Cornwall came back in the 7th end with a score of 3 followed up with a fortuitous 5 in the 8th end to level the scores. The final end saw Cornwall set up a wining position but the North Yorkshire skip was able to move the jack with her last wood and claim 1 to win the game and progress to the last 16 and end Cornwall's National Championship campaign for 2009.

Marazion Charity Tournament

Annual Tournament at Marazion
in aid of the Marazion Committee for Handicapped Children.

Held on 29th March 2009.

WINNERS
M. Jenkin, M. Praed, T. Swann, skipped by N. Nicholls - NEWLYN

RUNNERS UP
E. Daniell, N. Truscott, K. Watson, skipped by P. Hore - HOLMANS

On Sunday 29th March 2009 the annual Bowling Tournament, hosted by Marazion Indoor Bowling Club, raised over £1,500 for the Marazion Committee for Handicapped Children, who raise funds to help local children with special needs.

Thirtysix teams of four from all over Cornwall, competed in the tournament which ended with semi-final teams of Wadebridge skipped by Derek Swaby against Holmans skipped by Peter Hore and Troon skipped by David Studden against Newlyn skipped by Nigel Nicholls. Both games were hard fought ending with Peter Hore and Nigel Nicholls teams going through.

The resulting final between Holmans and Newlyn was very close being 5 shots each going into the last end. The jack had been moved to within 6 inches of the edge of the mat when Trevor Swann bravely sent down a weighted wood which took the jack into the ditch leaving Peter Hore a very difficult draw around some opposing woods to gain shot. His wood however just tipped over the ditch line leaving Newlyn with three shots to win the match by 8 shots to 5.

The players and spectators were treated to excellent lunches and continuous refreshments throughout the day, prepared by the committee members. A good raffle helped to boost the funds with prizes being donated by the participating teams and members of the committee.It was an enjoyable days bowling in aid of a worthy cause.

Thanks to Don Falck for providing the report.
