FINALS – John Coghlan competition to come to a conclusion in May
THE semi-finals and finals of the Alo Gowran Singles of Mullingar Bowls were held in the Bridge and Amenity Cen¬tre on weekend of 23/24 April 2016.
The first semi-final was be¬tween Kevin Nolan and Glen Ridsdale with Kevin coming out on top after a great game. The second semi-final was between Ken Ridsdale and Sean Harraghy and when Sean appeared to be winning the tables were turned on the second last end with Ken coming out on top.
So it was down to Ken and Kevin to compete in the final. Ken, with determination and skill, claimed the title for the fourth consecutive time.
Derek Gowran was on hand along with the Club Chairman to present the prizes.
The Chairman thanked Gowran’s for their continued sponsorship of this competition and in response Derek Gow¬ran said he was delighted to be involved and enjoyed visiting the club for this occasion.
