There was a high standard of bowling at Pembroke County Bowls Association's finals day at a sun- drenched Haverfordwest Bowling Club on Saturday. Saundersfoot's Mal Bishop won the blue riband singles trophy, beating Tenby's Peter Day 21-17, but the former Welsh international was foiled in his bid to win two titles. Partnering Don Poole, who takes over as county president at the end of the year, they were beaten in the pairs by Tenby's John Baggott and Paul Diment 18-11. It was the second success of the day for the Tenby duo, for in the morning, they teamed up with Terry Howells and Simon Evans (subbing for Jon Webb) to win the rinks. They chalked up a 22-9 win over their clubmates Dai Spencer, Andrew Muskett, Peter Day and Pat Currie. In the triples, despite a spirited fightback, Whitland teenagers Liam Price, Shane Webster and Daniel Jenner just lost out 22-18 to John Mulcair (subbing for Harry Hanger), Ron Pointon and Richard Jones, of Pembroke Dock. Meanwhile, in the other singles competitions, Craig Jones, of Haverfordwest, beat holder Chris Court, of Whitland, 21-13 in the Under 25s; Ryan Thomas, of Whitland, took the Under 18s title, beating Billy Lewis, of Milford Haven, 21-5; and Mark Thorpe, of Haverfordwest, was victorious in the Under 35s, winning 21-12 against Adam Hensman, of Tenby. And in the Over 60s, Saundersfoot's John Jenkins won the singles, beating Tom Jones, of Fishguard, 21-5, while R. Thomas and D. Summers, of Haverfordwest, lifted the pairs, defeating last year's winners Les Davies and Brian Dowling, of Pembroke Dock, 23-14. Ceris Hewlings and John Roberts made it a hat-trick of titles for the Saundersfoot club, when they won the mixed pairs 23-19 against Helen Baggott and Pat Currie (subbing for John Baggott). County president John Jones thanked everyone for making the event a success, including the competitors, markers, umpire Ted Brutnell, bar staff, ladies in the kitchen, competition secretary Arthur Jarvis and county secretary Gerrard Thomas.
