BOWLS

SWINDON and District Women’s Bowls Association stage their annual finals at Wanborough on Sunday.

Several local players will feature in two finals.

Highworth’s Linda Kingston, a former winner, plays holder Carol Holland in the singles final and then later meets Chris Mitchell (Cricklade) in the Champion of Champions final.

Mitchell also features in the pairs final alongside team mate Janet Missen against Wortton Bassett’s Wendy Thrush and Doris Woodley.

It is expected that Holland plus Sue Williams and Jean Bird who all play singles finals in the morning will feature in the Purton side to meet Wroughton in the Double Rinks.

The vastly experienced Stratton Churchway trio of Ellen Bolland, Wendy Anderson and Janet Willis will be looking to go one better this time around in the Charity Triples against Wroughton having lost in the final last year.

The Wroughton trio of Linda Whittingham, Jill Webb and Kath Lees plus Babs Salter (Secretary’s Cup) will then face Purton in the Double Rinks, the last final of a busy day.
