Round 1 – Results
It was great to see 42 bowlers turn out for the 1st Event of the season in Leisureplex Stillorgan. What was even more encouraging was that 8 new players signed up on the morning and with another 8 Seniors away representing Ireland in the World Senior Championships in Las Vegas, the indications are that the 10th Anniversary season of the Rocks Jewellers Singles will prove to be the most successful yet.
Not only did we have the great turnout, we had scoring to match, with 15 bowlers bowling 200+ averages, 2 of whom breaking the 1200 series mark, which also bodes well as throughout the previous 2018/19 season (9 Events) there were only 2 1200+ series.
Alan Bride topped the Scratch section with 1236 (247 Avg) followed by Jason Byrnes on 1218 (243 Avg). They were joined by Alan McDonnell and Amanda Larkin in the semi-finals which proved to be comfortable wins for Alan, who shot 258 to Amanda’s 210 and Jason, who had a 224 to Alan’s 163. In a much tighter final match Alan struck out in the 10th frame to close out Jason by 237 to 216.
Sean Dempsey and Kealan O’Connor playing in their first Rocks Jewellers event led the way in the Handicap section with Sean on 1209 (incl. Hcp) and Kealan on 1200 (incl Hcp). These were joined by John Wilson and Paul Stott, both seasoned senior bowlers for the semi-finals. In the first semi-final there was nothing to separate the players with Sean closing out well to move in the final by a narrow 2 pin margin winning with 216 to Paul’s 214 and Kealan took care of business joining him in the Final by 251 to John’s 198. Kealan’s good form continued into the final to take his first win in his first Rocks Jewellers event by 232 to Sean’s 195.
Congratulations to the winners Alan Bride (Scratch Division) and Kealan O’Connor (Handicap Division) and all the finalists.

Having narrowly missed out on medals in the Singles and Doubles events, Pat’s overall combined performance in the All Events (Singles, Doubles & Trios) gave her a Bronze Medal place on the podium in the 28th European Senior Bowling Championships (ESBC) in Bologna, Italy.
Pat’s All Events placing also gave her entry into the Masters Final where today, the top 6 players would go head to head to determine the overall ESBC champions. In a tough 5 game format where the lowest scoring bowler is eliminated after every game, Pat was up to the challenge and fought her way right through to the Final match and came home with the prestigious Silver European Tenpin Bowling Federation (ETBF) medal. Well done Pat …..
