This is the second year the club has hosted this event and although numbers at the event were not as high as we had hoped the evening was a great success and enjoyed by all those who did attend. The band started the evening off and continued after a break for food and drink. The BBQ and buffet was excellent. Thanks go out to all those who helped in any way to make the night a brilliant success
The Halifax Champion of Champions tournament is a prestigious event that showcases the skill and determination of its participants. This year, the tournament was graced by an exceptional display of talent and sportsmanship, with Gareth Coates of Akroyd Vics clinching the title in a thrilling finale. Sponsored by The Water Wizard (Tony Bannister), the tournament saw Coates secure a remarkable 21-16 victory over Richard Hargreaves of Crossroads
This year, the event took on an even more significant role by dedicating all proceeds from raffles, donations, and sales to the Overgate Hospice, a beacon of care and support for those facing life-limiting illnesses. The Halifax & District Bowling Association along with the Sowerby Tennis and Bowling Club, demonstrated remarkable generosity and community spirit by raising an impressive £784 for the hospice.
