Hamilton Trophy Venues for 2012

Bowls Scotland have set up a working group to look at the future of the Hamilton Trophy - the group consists of 2 former County Secretaries, 2 current County Secretaries and 2 current District secretaries.

The working group want to hear the thoughts of all players, officials and county associations to find out what ideas there are on how to make the competition more inventive and attractive to players and potential sponsors. Responses are requested by 12th February 2012.

 If you have any ideas you can email events@bowlsscotland.com.  Alternatively Stewartry Secretary Graeme Maxwell has offered to collate ideas from Stewartry bowlers, clubs and the association itself.  You can email Graeme at graeme.maxwell@tiscali.co.uk or speak to him directly with your ideas.

This is a great opportunity for the bowlers in the Stewartry to influence the future of the competition to get the best outcome for our members and clubs so please give the question some thought and air your views!

Castle Douglas hosted the Stewartry v Glasgow East county match on Saturday. After a good win in week 1 the Stewartry team were looking to follow this up with another strong performance.  Conditions were dry but windy at the commencement of play, however the rain started at around three o’clock and persisted for the remainder of the afternoon.

Stewartry got off to a strong start and were 17 up at 5 ends.  The lead stretched to 27 at 10 ends and fluctuated between the mid twenties and thirties through the remainder at the game.  At 15 ends Stewartry were 33 up; at the end of the game they had sealed a comprehensive 26 shot victory. Stewartry top the section on shot difference from Wigtownshire and Lanarkshire.
