Last weekend, we held our annual pairs championship/national qualifiers at Etherow IBC. The venue was buzzing with activity all day as twenty pairs battled it out fighting for their chance to be named as pairs champions for the 2024/25 season. The event has been won every year since it’s inception in 2019 by Ben Holbrook and June Crowther and they were hoping to retain their title for another year, but it wasn’t to be. The final, which was an edge of your seat nail biting affair, saw father and son, Pete and Steve Roberts snatch the win and become the 2024/25 season Greater Manchester pairs champions.
The Pair will go on to represent Greater Manchester at Melton & District Indoor Bowls Club in April where they will fight for the national title and we’re sure they will do well.
