Division 2 Singles played at Highley Miner's Welfare Bowling Club Sunday 19th July

A lower than expected entry of only eight played for the CMLF&L & Bbranded sponsored Division two singles title. On an excellent surface, Hazel Grainger of Horsehay C proved the eventual winner. The first round saw Hazel narrowly beat Tom Yale (Chelmarsh) 21-18 and losing finalist Tony Jones of Worfield survive a nail biting 21-20 win over Dave Grainger (Horsehay C) after being 20-14 down. The first semi-final saw a repeat of the ladies singles final with Hazel proving just too strong for Leslie Burnside (Mortimer) while In the second, Tony got the better of Guy Lewis (Horsehay C) 21-14. In the final, Hazel dominated the first few ends to go 14-3 up then Tony rallied to get back to 15-16 but Hazel got the jack back with a double on a long mark into the corner and then ran out with some close bowling along the side of the green. League chairman Mark Bennett thanked Highley for their kind hospitality and congratulated them on the fine state of the green and surrounds. The trophy was presented by Guy Lewis representing league sponsor CMLF&L.
