Matchplay Doubles Minimize 
Saturdays bowling has completed with 11 teams attacking the WTBA  Atlanta pattern. It seems the key to the pattern is being called 'Lee' as Chatfield and Miller ended top of the table after the eight qualifying games.

Tomorrow's qualifying begins at 9am, and whilst weather warnings have been issued by the met office their is no intention of cancelling the event.

We do advise travellers to assess their own situation, follow advice by the authorities and above all, be safe.

Tolworth Singles 2011  

Home to the 1975 World Championships, Charrington Bowl in Tolworth, Surrey played host to Englands PTBC Tour on the last weekend of July.

 

The PTBC’s fourth tour stop, all of which are Team England ranking events decided on a tough condition for the bowlers which saw a very low scoring tournament where only those who persevered were able to progress through qualifying to the round-robin final. Men and Ladies were split into two divisions, each playing six games in qualifying, followed by a cut to play four further games before the final cut to the top ten men and top six ladies for the round-robin.

 

Team England’s Matt Chamberlain (1226) led the male field after the first round, with Paul Moor (1207) in second place, the only two players to break the 200 average in the first six games. In the ladies division Northern Irelands 2007 World Cup player, Helen Tamblyn (1188) led the ladies, with Alison Taylor (1128) in second.

 

In round two, Chamberlain and Moor swapped positions at the top of the table, whereas in the ladies Tamblyn retained her lead, adding 794 pins to her score whilst Australia’s Cassie Staudinger made a push to the top and ended in second place adding 795 to her 1107 round one total.

 

The mens round-robin continued to be tough for the bowlers with no-one really able to ‘crack’ the condition. Consistent play from Dom Barrett saw him push his way up the table from fifth place in round two, and both Chamberlain and Moor dropping some places to fourth and third respectively. It was Ray Teece however who managed to take the top spot after winning six of the nine games in the final.

 

Despite a great effort from Tamblyn in the Ladies round-robin, she was unable to retain her lead and was passed by Staudinger who took second place. Nicki Ainge won four of the five matches along with consistent play to jump four places in the five games to win the ladies division.

Jo Cundy is English Open 2010 Champion Minimize 
CundyTrophy.jpg

Long-time England international Jo Cundy won her first major event, becoming the 2010 English Open champion Sunday Nov. 21 at Lakeside Superbowl Nuneaton in Nuneaton, England.

The five-player stepladder final was an All-English affair. Cundy, who was one of three women in the stepladder (women received eight pins handicap each game), watched the first three games from the sidelines after earning the No. 1 seed position in Final Round Three. Fellow national team member Lisa John, who held the number 1 position in the qualifying and was seeded into Round Three, finished eighth.

Brunswick Euro Challenge winner Rob Thurlby edged into the fifth spot for the TV finals by bowling a 300 in the last game of Round Three to make the show. Thurlby started the stepladder by dismissing an on-form Nicki Ainge from the tournament, 220-203, and then delivering a similar blow to Europe's number one ranked player Dominic Barrett, 245-199.

t was Zara Giles, who was able to take the wind from Thurlby's sails, when he shot a low game of 178 against her in the third stepladder match, Giles taking advantage with a 246.

In the title match, Giles took on a shaky Jo Cundy, whose nerves were restricted to appearance only, as she rolled a 257 to Giles' 219 in front of the TV cameras, where Cundy lifted the English Open trophy to applause from the large crowd.

The English Open is a regular event on the European Bowling Tour, but took a break this year, electing to withdraw its EBT status. The two- hour show will air on Sky Sports 3, 9pm on 22nd December and will be repeated three times over the Christmas Period.
