Bowling News
The Yorkshire Men's Merit was held at Magnet Sports, Tadcaster yesterday when Robbie Ellis beat Jack Dyson 21-16 in the Final. Although Robbie plays in Yorkshire and Lancashire leagues he is a Yorkshireman. He wasn't getting a game for the Yorkshire team so made himself available for selection and, subsequently, played for the Greater Manchester team in BCGBA competitions. That status is now threatened by his appearance in the Yorkshire Merit as bowlers are not allowed to play for one county and compete in another county's individual competitions. That shouldn't detract from an excellent result against Jack Dyson who is renowned for his early season successes especially although that wasn't the case at the final hurdle this time around.
