In the Scratch division Alan Mc Donnell took an early lead and despite Paul’s late run of strikes Alan managed to secure his second Scratch event of the season by 240 to Paul’s 226.
Another great turnout with 47 bowlers, congratulations to the winners Alan McDonnell (Scratch Division) and P. J. Shine (Handicap Division), all the finalists and everyone who played.
