ESMBA OPEN SINGLES

On Saturday 1st October Peter Hore and Elise Daniell from the Holmans Club travelled to Solihull to compete in the ESMBA Open Singles competition.

Peter progressed unbeaten from the group stages with wins against Martin Grange 9-7, Adam Smith 13-11 and Jason Finney 8-4.  In the first round of the knockouts Peter defeated Nathan Caines 12-10.  In the last 16 Peter faced Jack Knight losing 1-12.

Elise had mixed results in the groups losing 4-13 to Glenn Harvey, winning 14-8 against Elaine Sadler and finishing with a 4-10 loss to Lynn Orlando.  Finishing third in group Elise went into the Plate competition where she won 9-7 against Daniel Rigby before losing in the Quarter Finals 3-12 to Nick Wyatt.

INTER AREA LEAGUE

On Saturday the first of three Inter Area League fixtures will be played at Carnmoggas.  The format has been changed for this year in response to concerns that area reps may not be able to field full teams of 20 bowlers.  Areas will only need a minimum of 10 players.  The four areas will play each other on each of the three dates giving players up to three games on each day.

AREA LEAGUES

The evening league program gets underway in the west of the County this week with the other areas starting later in the month.
