WINNINGTON PARK INDOOR BOWLS 27
WINNINGTON PARK INDOOR BOWLS
And yet another Short Mat League comes to an end; some teams are happy, others
are not. Some players won in the weekly raffle, others were happy with a sweet out of
the winners shared box! They tell us that it is not the winning that is important but the
taking part.
Try telling that to the Blasters or the
Wreckers! Every team, quite rightly,
wants to win. As it happened, with the
help of a handicap system and a good
spread of prizes, every team went up, on
the last night, to receive an envelope
from Peter Kelly.
The Socialites, followed by the
Blasters, won the league yet again. The
SOCIALITES Aristocrats came in third. In the final of
SOCIALITES
the Team Knockout, the Aristocrats went down to the Socialites (Sorry lads, only one
photograph). The losing semi finalists were the Patriots and the Goodfellows.
The Pairs Round Robin proved to be quite a tussle, over four weeks. With the help
of a good handicap, the Unpredictables
were leading until the penultimate
round; they then had a poor showing
against the Goodfellows, the eventual
winner. The Wreckers and the Aces
were equal third.

The backroom workers, Gill Sambrook –
Treasurer and Alan Whitelegg – League Sec-
retary, received a vote of thanks as we sat
UNPREDICTABLES down to a splendid, end of season supper
UNPREDICTABLES
and the presentations. A fitting end to twenty weeks of ding – dong battles.

AND SO SAY ALL OF US
AND SO SAY ALL OF US
The Short Mat Season ends and the trophies appear. Some DAVE
DAVE
are awarded for what was a lucky wick on the last end of a HULME
HULME
game; none the less still deserved. Some trophies are
based on the seasons play. Some are decided by the ap-
pointment of one person and others, perhaps more presti-
giously, are awarded on the result of a vote.
Dave Hulme, of Rudheath Bowling Club, was over-
whelmed to be the recipient of two trophies for this year.
First he was voted the Players’ Player of the season for the
Cheshire County ‘A’ Team, and then he was awarded the
Cheshire Captain’s Player of the Year Cup. This was his
first year for Cheshire ‘A’ team. How does that song go? ”…
…….and so say all of us”. Well done, Dave!
