2022 Hastings Open Bowls Tournament Report
The small number of entrants (40 Singles/18 Pairs/18 Triples) that competed this year were granted glorious weather, bowling greens in good condition if sometimes a bit swift & wonderful refreshment provided by Martyn Naylor & team manning the Bar ably supported by Mark & Sarah in the Kitchen. The Committee thanks the many competitors who gave up their time to MARK Singles matches & to all those that assisted the organisers in the management of the Greens. Thanks to Hastings Borough Council for allowing us to use their Greens at no charge & Parking Services for making life easier for those that travelled a distance. Open Singles Champion was Jack Till (Gullivers) who came from behind to overcome last year’s Runner-Up David Baxter (Wanstead Central) by 1 shot leaving it to the last end to nose in front. Open Triples Champions were Alec Martin/Trevor Logan/Shaun Godfrey (mostly White Rock) who nudged out Stuart James/Gary Wilson/Martyn Naylor (Rosemount) 18-15. Alec Martin & Shaun Godfrey beat Ed Law & Dave Morgan to take the Consolation Pairs. As the Tournament makes a significant loss this year 2023 will most likely be the last (111th) to be held unless significant support materialises.
