Milnsbridge Bowling Club veteran and Club President, Jim Baxter, also plays regularly over the hill in the Oldham Veterans League with some success this year. Last week he reached the Final of the League's prestigious Presidents Cup competition knocking out the favourite en-route but going down in the Final 13-21.
Jim bowls for Dobcross in their Oldham Veterans team and progressed through to the Final on the competition's Finals Day held at Moorside Cricket. He began last Friday's Finals Day with a 21-16 quarter-final success over Bob Chapman of Chadderton Hall Park who was the runner-up in 2019. Going on to overcome the competition favourite David Clayton of Springhead Libs 21-12 in the semi-finals.
He then met Phil Biram of Werneth Park in the Final. At one time leading 10-8, Jim then suffered a mid-match burst of 10 consecutive points from 7 ends from his opponent to eventually go down 13-21 but not before announcing his arrival on the Lancashire bowling scene. The two finalists are pictured above with Jim on the right.
