Peter Dodd Federation Merit
Congratulations to Chris Barton, the new winner of the Wallasey Federation Merit, this year named in memory of Peter Dodd, marking his dedicated work for Wallasey Association. What a brilliant final, Chris just edging over the winner’s line 21-20 against Matt Gilmore after a truly exciting game. Well done both for their excellent performances.
Thanks to those who came to watch and to mark a card. We really do need more people to support these competitions to keep them going so you are appreciated. Thanks to Wayne McDermott who kindly donated a trophy to present to the winner whilst we wait for a new one dedicated to Peter and also to Paul Saville’s Custom Floors for their support as always. New sponsors are always welcome to attract more players into our tournaments. Thanks also to the Magazine club for hosting the finals night and also to Manor Road and Upton VH for hosting the qualifiers.

For the first time since 2018, The Hampson Shield was played on Thursday across the two greens at New Brighton Cricket Club. We were treated to some amazing games and what an impressive winner we had in Andy Openshaw (New Brighton Quarry Vikings). 
A definite future bowling champion. Well done Andy 
and congratulations also to Lynne Dowling (Magazine Hotel) who also played excellent all night to be a worthy runner-up. All four semi finalists were from different clubs, reflecting the array of talent on show. Well done to all, particular mention to Callum Boyle, a rising 14-year old star who bowled great and shows lots of promise. Well done players
