             CHESHIRE VILLAGES INDOOR BOWLING TOURNAMENT 2018 – 19
               Once again, we have arrived at the final of a Cheshire Villages Indoor Bowling Tournament
               and once again Lach Dennis are the successful team. We are convinced that having a bar
               in your village hall is a great attraction in keeping a robust team!
                     Way back, in October 2018, the competition started with the fewest teams ever; down
               to three leagues throughout Cheshire. The viability of the tournament was in doubt. The keen-
               ness of those few teams was in no doubt and we went ahead. The Davenport Golf Club (and
               bar) was able to provide two teams, Green and Yellow, and proved to be a great example.
                     Group One                    Group Two                   Group Three
                     RIXTON                      ANTROBUS                     DAVENPORT (GREEN)
                     GUILDEN SUTTON              DAVENPORT (YEL)              LACH DENNIS
                     PADGATE                     MERE/TABLEY                  RUDHEATH
                     HIGH LEGH                   KELSALL                      CHORLEY VILLAGE HALL
               The semi-finals were tight. Davenport (Yellow) beating Rixton and Lach Dennis were the vic-
               tors over Guilden Sutton. Unfortunately, the final was not as close and Lach Dennis were in
               an unbeatable position after winning the first four pairs games.
                     Are you involved with a short mat team in Cheshire? The event is fun and we would
               love to see more teams enjoying themselves with us. If you can manage a little competition,
               then for more details, contact chrismbanfield@btinternet.com

                                  FIXING FENDERS
                                   FIXING FENDERS
                                  Uplands Bowls Club were interested to read the article about fixing fenders.
                                  For several years our club has used two pieces of 4/5” per mat of white off-
                                  cut square drain pipe, which we got free from a local plastics company. Half
                                  a square drainpipe produces a right angle, with one side going under the
             mat and the other up against the fender, which has worked very successfully.

                   ED- the image above is not an actual image of the fenders involved but gives a clear idea
             of where the pieces would be places at each end of the fender, with the carpet basically stopping
             the plastic moving and thus holding the fender in place. The lower image is simply a piece of
             right-angled plastic to give an idea of what it was. It was Window Board Rigid Angle 50mm x
             50mm x 5m - White, although any right-angled stuff will do.
