Finals Day at Easingwold Bowling Club 2025
Each year, members of the Club can enter to play in four individual (singles) competitions. A series of “knockout” rounds throughout the season culminate in the annual Finals Day event, where the winners of each trophy are decided. Finals Day this year was held on Sunday 31st August in warm, sunny, albeit gusty conditions.
All the four contests are decided by the first player to reach or exceed 21 shots.
The event started at 1pm and the first two matches played (simultaneously) were the Rathmell Wood (two wood) Trophy and the Batty Cup. In the first, Debbie Taylor got the better of Pete Snowden, winning by 21 shots to 14. The Batty Cup, contested by Keith Hughes and Jonathan Dawson was a close run thing with Keith finally pulling away towards the end to win 24 to 17.
After a short break for both players and spectators to enjoy tea and cakes, Finals Day resumed with the Ladies Cup and the Cliff Cup. Sue Lilley and Kim Beaumont played for the Ladies Cup in a great contest which Sue finally won by 21 shots to 15.
Whilst this match was going on, on a separate rink, Keith Hughes and Pete Snowden were competing in the Club’s oldest fixture - The Cliff Cup. This cup was first presented to the Club in 1938 by then President A.D. Cliff and has been played for ever since. This year - in the trophy’s 87th year - Keith and Pete (in their second final of the day) competed in a great match which Keith finally won 22 shots to 14 - his second victory of the day!
Finals Day ended (after almost four hours of bowling) with Club Captain Andrew Mather presenting the trophies to the three winners.
