The First Dai Howick Memorial Trophy Event

12 Aug 2023

22 bowlers competed for the Dai Howick memorial trophy which replaced the mower cup from this year.

Despite a heavy downpour just before it started all bowlers braved the un-seasonal weather to have a fun day with some good bowling.

In group 'A' Chris Champion and Gerry Neary edged out Norman Harbour and Pam Nesbitt by one point to secure a place in the final whilst in group 'B' Ken Alexander and Sandra Clarke won by two shots from Chrissie Lyford and Jane Alexander.

The final was tight with Chris and Gerry winning by one shot on a tie breaker end. It was fitting that Gerry won using a bowling arm just as Dai did for many years.

All bowlers enjoyed a raffle and a Spider was held with the money going to the Priest House, which Dai always supported.
