McCabe Trophy - 22nd May
Junior teams from Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire met at Johnstone Bowling Club on Sunday 22^nd May to compete for The McCabe Trophy, as part of the Intersport Council Annual Bowls initiative. This is the second year that the competition has been played, with Johnstone BC taking over as host from Blacklands BC in Kilwinning last year.
Teams comprising some of the best young bowlers from Johnstone, Arthurlie and Hawkhead Bowling Clubs, representing Renfrewshire, competed against some high-class opposition made up of teams of Junior players from Saltcoats, Blacklands, Kilwinning, Ardeer, Irvine Parks, Springside, West Kilbride and Dreghorn Bowling Clubs, representing North Ayrshire.
The hosting of the event was coordinated under the auspices of the Johnstone & District League, with Johnstone BC providing excellent facilities for the match. After last year’s inaugural event in Ayrshire the competition seems set to be a popular occasion in the Junior bowling calendar for years to come. Next year’s match date has already been set, and shall be played at one of the North Ayrshire Clubs.
Despite the weather’s vague attempts to spoil the day, all of the young players enjoyed the good bowling, friendship, the keen competition, and the excellent catering by Johnstone. On the day North Ayrshire retained the Trophy by three games to two.
Thanks are due to Johnstone BC for hosting the event in their usual excellent fashion.
