Congratulations to the Borough
What an incredible finish to this season’s Saturday League with three teams in the running for the League title
Whitby were top with all their games played they were 8 points clear of
Borough and 12 from Hunmanbv
If Borough A could manage to win 9 out 10 games at Westgate and take the 3 bonus points for the best aggregate score then they couldn’t be caught
Hunmanby were away at Brid Bay and hope to pull back the 2 points they were behind Borough
Things didn’t start well for Borough who lost 3 out of their first four matches
At this point in proceedings Sky Sports would have switched their coverage to Brid Bay where Hunmanby won their first 7 matches and looked to be heading to the title
However the experienced plavers at Borough dug in winning the next 5 matches with just Steve Taylor facing a tough task against Nigel Gordon
Meanwhile back at Brid Bay Hunmanby stumbled and lost 2 out of the last 3
matches so it was all back on Steve ravior
Steve was bowling well and was not going to miss this chance to take Borough to victory and getting over the line with a 21-16 victory giving Borough the title by 1 point
So Borough A completed a treble with the Saturday League title joining the Tuesday night League title already banked and also the Thursday night
Doubles League title
special mention also needs to go to Sue Wilkinson’s Borough B who had a fantastic season finishing 13 points clear of Brid Bay A and a massive 24 points
clear of Westeate a and were the on v team in the tirst division who
completed a full house 10 games out of 10) in any match over the season and Ken Marshall’s Borough C who finished joint 3rd in the second division missing out on promotion by only 4 points
A great season for Borough Bowling Club (see pictures below)
