The 2024 BCGBA Men's Merit will be held this coming Saturday at Pennfields BC, in Staffordshire. There are 9 Yorkshire representatives in the final 32 bowlers including the 2018 winner Chris Mordue.
The opening round draw is:
Jonny Sneddon (of Thongsbridge) is the reigning SOUTH YORKSHIRE merit holder. And to answer Philip's Q, the Senior Merit (All England to many) was never really a televised event given it's format of a one day (2 green) 64 runner event.
The Waterloo, CofC, Bass Masters and many other events got airtime back in the halcyon days when Crown Green was a cheap option for TV filler.
In more recent times, it was streamed with permission by BCGBA (Not a cheap option to do it well) and there is coverage of the last two Yorkshire winners (Ashley Daykin 2014 and Chris Mordue 2018) All England 2014
