School of Excellence 2012.
The final of this
year’s event was held at Bristol Indoor BC on Saturday 21st
January.
32 players from
across the County, which this year included 1 from Minehead and 2 from
Severalls Jubilee, qualified for the event and produced some excellent
bowling. The players are divided into two sections of Juniors, 10 to 15 years
of age and Seniors, 15 to 18 years of age. Each section is then divided into
groups of 4 who compete in a Round Robin of 3 games of 7 ends. They then
compete in 4 Set Skills Exercises and the points from each event are added
together to determine the semi-finalists.
In the Junior
section semi finals Jack Groves ( Watchet ) beat Elliott Jenkins ( Portishead
) 11 shots to 2 and Shannon Crouch ( Yeovil ) beat Liam White ( Bristol ) 9
shots to nil. In the Senior section semi finals Reece White ( Bristol ) beat
Macauley Mattravers ( Yeovil ) 10 shots to 2 and Samuel Steel ( Watchet ) beat
Barnaby Green ( Taunton Deane ) 8 shots to 4.
In the Junior Final
Jack Groves ( 2011 National Final runner-up ) beat Shannon Crouch 9 shots to
1. In the Senior Final, after 7 ends the scores were equal at 5 all. In the
extra end Reece White scored 2 to secure the title over Sam Steel.
This year’s
School was generously sponsored by the Indoor and Outdoor Patrons Associations
and the winners were duly presented with their trophies by Tony Seymour,
Indoor Patrons Chairman and Gerry Gridley, Outdoor Patrons Chairman. Also present were Ray
Dolby, President of SCIBA and Jim Reed Secy. SCIBA and SBA Ladies President Nancy Reid and
Mens President David Bendall.
Thanks must be
extended to Pete Staddon and his team of Coaches who have been busy at various
Indoor greens during the past few months and all who made the day go so well.
A special vote of thanks to Mrs Wendy Toman and all the volunteers of the
Bristol Indoor BC who catered so well for the 100 or so attendees. Finally
thank you to all the competitors and their supporters, we were treated to some
wonderful bowls, played in a very sporting manner –
keep enjoying your game.
The events at
Dorset, Devon and Cornwall have yet to take place. Upon their completion the
Regional Coordinator, Hedley Bowen, will determine the players who will be
invited to the Regional Final on Sunday 15th April at Plymouth IBC.
