2024 President

Update 26 September 2024 - (John Prattley)​​​

 

Many Congratulations to Beth Ward who beat Jodi Lewis (Hinckley) 21-20 to become the 2024 Unbadged County Ladies Singles Champion.  This is a brilliant achievement and we are all proud of you. 

 

Well done to both players for producing such a close final.

​

​​Our Over 60s team finished the season with a 4-4 draw at home to Measham, in a match curtailed due to the weather.  This took their points total to 108, with an average of 6 points per game, out of a possible 8, and only 2 defeats over the 18 match season.  Huge Congratulations to Captain Graham Findell and all those who played in the matches.  The delayed match between Desford A & Coalville B took place on Monday, resulting in a 6-2 win for Desford, meaning that they finished 2nd in the table, 5 points ahead of Market Bosworth B, and 21 points behind Whitwick.

 

​The season came to  a close with our final fun competition yesterday. A very enjoyable afternoon with many of our players taking part.  The competition was won by Dave H, Alan and JIm (or James depending on how posh he is feeling), followed by tea and cake, thanks again to Linda for the lovely baking.  We were treated at the end to a spectacular light show, courtesy of the lightening, before our green turned into a lake.

 

We were due to play in Greenfields in their end of season tournament, but this fell foul of the weather.  Our sympathies to them as there will have been a great deal of effort gone into organising the event.

 

Our bowling this year will come to an end with the Over 60s gala, being held at Ibstock, this Tuesday - weather permitting!! The weather was good and our team of Graham, Steve & Peter finished 7th out of 14 teams.  Well done.
