Congratulations to all the finalists on Sunday.

Especially the WINNERS. It Was another good turn out with 40 players participating given that some of our Seniors were away.

The pattern offered its Challenges and brought some humility after the high of the Championships only 2 weeks ago.

As one Senior said to me.

“The pins are in the same place as before but I still can’t hit them.“

I felt his pain.

Thanks to Sean and Peter for doing the scoring, as this was a great help, again thanks to Leisureplex Coolock and all their Staff for hosting another successful Tour It was a nice gesture the pen presentation to Phillip for the 300.

As always a special to all the Seniors who turn up every time and make The Tour Special.

It was nice to see a new face, Pat Kemmy.

Thanks to the ITBA for the goody packs.

Again thanks to the other committee members for their great work as always.

Cheers Joe.

Hi all Seniors,

I just wish to thank Leisureplex for hosting a very successful Championships, thanks Sean, Peter and all the Staff.

I would also like to Congratulate all the winners. Some great games and close finishes, very exciting indeed.

Listening to some, including myself in this…..we might rename the Championships “ The Seniors (open) Championships” given that there were so many open frames.

BUT the oil parrern suited most and made for some high scores .

Well done all.

Especially Philip for a perfect display.

I would like to thank all the committee members for their tremendous work on putting the Champtionships together.

Thank to John and Tim for the fantastic job on the scoring.

Thanks Paddy for the video and all the photos.

I hope to see you all in The Seniors Tour in Coolock again in 2 weeks on Feb 5th.

Cheers

Joe Ridgeway.

Last night (Thursday) saw the start of the 2023 Senior Championships in Leisureplex Coolock. The first event was the Mixed Doubles. Play continued this evening with the Ladies Doubles.

A great turnout in Tallaght last Sunday, considering all the nasty viruses going around.

Some of us played very well today, the pins didn’t  pull any strings for me though.

Congrats to all the winners.

Hope to see you all gain at the Championships.

Hi All Seniors,

Thank you for all your Support for our first outing of the Seniors Tour 2022 / 2023 Season. There was a great turn out of 39 players.

There was some great scoring and close finishes by the men and the ladies.

All expressed the good feeling to be back playing in the competition and meeting up again.

It was really nice to see Liam Byrne return after a long absence.

The rest seemed to have  done him a world of good. Getting back to his old form and putting it up to the rest of us.

A big welcome back Liam from all of us.

Congratulations to all the winners. They put in a great performance.

Some of us did not perform to expectations , but there is always next time. Such is the rollercoaster ride of ten pin bowling .

Thanks to Leisureplex for hosting the competition and a special thanks to Nicola / Sean and all the staff for their help. It was much appreciated.

Hope to see you all in Leisureplex Coolock on the 2nd Oct 2022, 9oc Start.

Keep Safe till then,

The Committee

The ITBA Senior committee are delighted to announce the schedule for the 2022 / 23 Touring league.

I wish to express my thanks to Adrian and Staff at LeisureMax Wexford for all their help on Sunday, making the final tour for this season a great success.

There  were a few hiccups, but we managed to get through. Thanks To Paddy Kilduff and others.

The oil condition was challenging enough but some found it favorable. The super glue on the 10 pin caused a problem but bowling is a cruel sport.

I would like to congratulate the winners. Full result and rankings can be found on the Seniors pages.

Well done all.

Regards 

Joe and The committee
