🕊️ 𝗦𝗔𝗗 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Joe Adamson.

Joe was a well-known and much-respected figure within bowls in Lancashire, having been a member of clubs across the county and serving as a Bowls Lancashire Executive member, as well as an Alsop Trophy manager.

His contribution to the sport and to Bowls Lancashire over many years will be remembered and greatly appreciated.

Our thoughts are with Maureen, Joe’s family, friends and all those who knew him at this very sad time.

Rest in peace, Joe.

And just like that, Lancashire's National Finals campaign comes to an end ❤️

🔴 Lewis Rimmer took to the greens today in the 𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀 Last 16, carrying the Red Rose into the final event of the Championships.

Facing Josh Tingey (Kent), Lewis produced a superb performance and at one stage looked set to progress, opening up a 17-11 lead and putting himself firmly in control of the contest.

⚫ With victory within touching distance, Lewis held game on two separate occasions, needing just the final shot to get himself over the line. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be, with Josh battling back to turn the game around and eventually claim the win 21-20.

❤️ As Lancashire's final representative, Lewis can be immensely proud of the way he competed and the way he represented Heaton Hall, Southport and Lancashire on the national stage.

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨, 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗘 🌹

There may be no Lancashire players left on the greens, but there is plenty for the county to look back on with pride. Thank you to every player, supporter, coach, marker, volunteer, family member and club who has supported Lancashire throughout another memorable National Finals campaign.

Until next year... ❤️

𝗨𝗽 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘀!

Another day of National Finals action and more Lancashire players doing the Red Rose proud at Victoria Park ❤️

🔴 In the 𝗠𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘀, Nigel Williams and Grant Howland enjoyed a brilliant start to their campaign. After receiving a walkover in Round One, they edged a thrilling second-round encounter against Lewis Baker and Mack May (Huntingdonshire), coming through 14-13 after to reach the Last 16.

Their run eventually came to an end this morning against Kyle Anderson and Scott Edwards (Wiltshire), who progressed with a 21-12 victory. Two big bowls Scott did the damage when the duo held big counts of six & four through the middle of the context. Despite the disappointment, Nigel and Grant can be incredibly proud of reaching the final stages of a National Championship and securing a National Finals win along the way.

⚫ In the 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀, Hayley Milligan faced Maddie Burgess (Leicestershire). Hayley battled hard throughout before narrowly missing out 21-19 in a closely fought contest. Another excellent performance from Hayley, who has once again represented Lancashire superbly on the national stage.

🌹 From Fours to Triples, Pairs to Singles, Lancashire players have flown the flag with pride throughout these Championships. The results haven't always gone our way, but the effort, commitment and quality on show have been second to none.
