IT has been a tremendously busy week on the Wirral bowling scene . . .
Last Saturday saw the final stages of the first individual event.
Tixall's Alan Popham beat Gladstone's Nigel Hughes 21-18 in the final.

Alan played some outstanding bowls throughout the tournament and thoroughly deserved his victory.
The final stages of the first team event - the Wallasey League Five-a-side Competition - was also played and, yet again, the result might be considered to be a little surprising.
Sacred Heart proved too strong on the night for the highly-fancied West Kirby Vics squad and beat them 101-90 in the semi-final.
Sacred Heart went on to face Queens Royal in the final and triumphed 100-83, with all their players producing excellent diplays.
On Sunday, last year's Wallasey League champions, West Kirby Vics, travelled to Shrewsbury to take part in the British CGBA annual Club Championship.
After winning their first two matches, they came up against a powerful Brighouse team in the semi-final - and lost by 12 shots.
The week has also seen a full programe of club matches, the results of which appear on the left of this page.
