Memories
Yesterday we asked for more information about the Colne Valley Merit from 1922 and in particular any more information about Joe Eastwood, the winner of that year's Final. This matter being first raised by Lorraine Hirst who was seeking further information about her grandfather, Joe Eastwood.
No sooner had the posting appeared than Dave Parkin sent me a record of the matches played by Slaithwaite bowler Joe Eastwood and a range of press cuttings telling the story of the competition. I am very grateful to Dave for such a comprehensive report which includes a full listing of prominent bowlers from that time and clubs long forgotten which makes great reading for anyone interested in the history of Huddersfield crown green bowling.
