Holders on track for another Pairs title

Veterans League


After last Friday's start of this year's Over-70's Pairs KO competition, Netherton Con's pair Dennis Garner and Paul Winterburn won last year's title of the Veterans League Over-70's Champions and they are on course for another Finals Day climax. However they now have to play the surprise package of the David Brown Sports pair of Derek Frost and Mick Wenzel who have already eliminated one Division 1 pair to reach this stage.


Should they negotiate that hurdle then there is the possibility of meeting a top Lowerhouses' pair (Les Holmes & Graham Hirst) on their own green in the semis. In the quarter-finals in the bottom half of the draw two scratch pairing are kept apart and both will be favourites to progress one step further. It all happens at Lowerhouses on Thursday 12 September.


Preliminary Round D Lomax & D Thorpe (+6) 8-21 E Haigh & T Poulter (scr) L Holmes & G Hirst (+1) 21-8 E Haigh & M Cox (+1) A Bamforth & P Kain (scr) 21-19 T Sykes & D Simmons (+1)

T Bolton & S Manson (+2) 21-11 D Hamilton & T Smith (+4)
