The 5th annual club championships was held at the Almeria Tenpin Bowling Centre in Arboleas, Almeria over the weekend 22nd / 23rd April.  For the first time, there was a lady’s and men’s championship.

Following an elimination round to reduce the qualifiers down to the top 16 men and top 4 ladies, a matchplay format was introduced. The top seed played the bottom seed, 2nd played 15th, etc. The 8 men’s winners played in the quarter final on Sunday. The semi-finals for men and the ladies followed with the 4 winners playing in the finals.

The four finalists were Ali Gardiner v Sue Walsh. Trevor Stockley v Malcolm Rogers.

After two closely fought matches Sue came out the winner for the ladies beating Ali by just 4 pins with a score of 556 to 552! It all came down the very last frame of the match. Trevor beat Malcolm 604 to 524. Trevor was the only bowler to score over 600 including handicap in every round so thoroughly deserved the victory.

Congratulations to both Sue and Trevor in becoming Amigos Club de Bowling Champions 2018.

Below is the full list of scores:
