LAST week the Flyers had to be called off because of the heavy rain.

Even more rain falling during the week was probably the reason that this week's turnout was quite low.

However the green and the conditions were much better than might have been expected and this led to an excellent morning's bowls.

Eddie Dutton continued his fine run of form by winning for the second time and in doing so established a big lead in the points total.

In the Final he defeated Bill Atkinson, 21-17. In the earlier rounds Dutton had beaten Colin Mounsey and then Bob Hodgson.

Meanwhile Atkinson got the better of Tommy Walker in the quarters before just getting home against the player who won two week’s ago, Jamie Fitzpatrick, in a really close game.

Results: Quarter Finals: R. Hodgson 21, N. Woodward 17: E. Dutton 21, C. Mounsey 15; J. Fitzpatrick 21, D. Motley Jnr 12; W. Atkinson 21, T. Walker 15. Semi Finals: Dutton 21, Hodgson 17; Atkinson 21, Fitzpatrick 19. Final: Dutton 21, Atkinson 17.
