48 players from a number of Clubs competed for the now Annual Howden Invitational trophy. The format is a new one, designed for this event - each bowler in a triples team has 3 bowls, one is worth 3 points, another is 1 and there is one which scores 0. Each team plays 4 games of 1 hour with tactics coming into play. Of course, the aim is to get your high scoring bowls nearest the jack but often easier said than done!
The winners of the day were Arun Bowls Club, with the Horsham team of Tracey Osborn, Clare Stevens and Gary Manning just one point behind the winners. In third place were the team from Grattons. Congratulations to the winners and to everybody who took part in this successful event - with the proceeds of the raffle being donated to Macmillan Cancer support.
