MERTON TRIPLES
MERTON TRIPLES
The Merton Short Mat Bowling Club Summer Triples Tournament
took place at the Merton Club venue. As in the previous two years,
it was decided to run the tournament on the same lines, requesting
sponsorship from local businesses. Those who supported us were:
WCM Plant, K Sheppard Plastering, Hancock’s Garage Ltd., Malt
Scoop Inn, Barometer World Ltd., The Bell Inn, R & S Ware, DP
Paintwork, B T Autos (Winkleigh), Peter Bright Thatching,
Pound-Wise Bookkeeping Service.
As a club, we have had an expensive season, having purchased two new mats at a
cost of just under £1,900, so the sponsorship received has helped considerably. Thanks
are due for all the support and also to those who donated raffle prizes. After the completion
of play, Anstey, who won every game, were declared the winners, with Woolsary finishing
as Runners-Up were after winning three games and losing one.

Club members were delighted when both teams
taking part in the Mid Devon Star league, reach
the semi-finals of the Rose Bowl Tournament.
However, the bad news was that both
teams were drawn to play each other but the
good news of course is that one of them was
guaranteed to be playing in the final against
Winkleigh, who had the trophy for the past
seven years.
