Veterans League
Eight bowlers from 7 different clubs contest the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 Over-80's KO on Thursday at Thongsbridge BC. The four winners go through to Finals Day which will be at Golcar Lib on Friday 8 September.
Frank Greenwood (Golcar Lib) will be defending the title that he has won 3 times in the last four years including the last two years. Frank celebrates his 90th birthday this week and has beaten Gordon Walker (Kirkheaton Con) in the last two finals but Gordon had a holiday booked this year so didn't enter. Gordon has actually been the losing finalist in the last three finals held having also lost to Eddie Hine (Kirkheaton C&BC) in 2019 (there was no competition in 2020).
As usual the Semi-Finals and Final will be separated by the Julie Fuller Trophy Final in what is always a good day of veterans bowling with the climax of a team and an individual competition on the same green on the same day.
