2016-17 Competition

The 2016-17 competition was held on Saturday 22 October 2016 at Ross Bowling Club with 30 pairs competing initially in 10 round robin groups. The high number of entrants necessitated a re-jig of the format so the group stages was followed by the main competition knockout for the top 16 teams and a plate knockout competition for the remaining 14 teams. By the semi-final stage 5 different clubs still had representatives in the main competition before Hazel & Tony Vitale (Larruperz) went on to defeat Rod Dawson (Woolhope) and Mark Cinderey (Llangarron) in the final and so win the title for the second time. The Plate competition was won by George Marshall (Ross) and David Millington Jones (Woolhope) who defeated Sue & John Stannard (Fownhope) in the final.
