The John Doyle Trophy
On Sunday 6th July, 17 members of Easingwold Bowling Club took part in the annual John Doyle Trophy competition. This is a singles competition in which individual members play 3 x 35 minute matches using 4 bowls (usually referred to as ‘woods’). The winner is decided on points and, if tied, on shot difference. The competition and trophy is in memory, and named after, a former member who passed away in 1986 and is in the form of a decorative barometer.
At the end of the day the top three were announced by Club President Pete Snowden: Roger Green was third on 4 points and in second Jonathan Dawson on 6 points. Pete then presented the trophy to Keith Hughes (the defending 2024 champion), who also scored 6 points but had a better shot difference.
The competition took place in varying weather conditions; sunny spells being interrupted by the odd heavy shower but was an enjoyable experience for the players and spectators.
