WINNERS of the Kathryn Ladies Double Tournament at Pensby Bowling Club were Maureen and Ronnie Lyons who beat Karen Smith and Gaynor Greenfield in an exciting final 21-17.

In the semi finals Maureen and Ronnie only just scraped past Gill Smith and Jean Clarke 21-19, while Karen and Gaynor were a little too good for Joyce Stead and Linda Mitchell, winning 21-10.

Though it is still very early in the season Wirral's two County teams are having their first matches at the end of this month.

The Birkenhead and District Parks team is taking on North Derbyshire with the home match being played at the Lever Club.

The Wallasey Association's Federation team is playing East Lancashire and their home game is on the green at Royden Hall.

All the matches start at 2pm and spectators are very welcome at what we hope will be the start of a successful 2015 for both teams.
