Andy Wike wins John Hoyle Trophy

Veterans League

Andy Wike of Huddersfield Recreation Club became the first club member to lift this trophy and the first one to win it on his home green. Andy is a Longwood bowler in the Veterans League but he does bowl for the Huddersfield Recreation Club and Moldgreen Cons in other leagues, so knows the green very well. He beat Cowcliffe bowler, Graham Sigsworth, 21-14 in the final. It was a special moment for Andy as he was a former clubmate of John's.
