Played on Good Friday at the George and Dragon bowling club in Hyde. Tournament favorite Graeme [g.i.] Wilson won the event for the third time having won in 2002 and 2004. An excellent Crowd turned out to see 16 of the countries top crown green bowlers compete for a total £1,000 prize money, despite the cold and wet conditions. In his first game Wilson scraped past Tommy Johnstone 21-20 after being 20-17 in arrears, producing a great bowl to count game. He then disposed of Sheffield Chris Brown before beating the 2006 winner Dave Mcdermott 21-15. In the final he came up against Stoke's Dean Ferris who accepted a last minute invitation to play further to the withdrawal of Andy Spragg. On his first visit to the green he played some great bowls to beat Lee Lawton ,then last years winner Kerry Morris and 2007 winner Glyn Cookson.
The final produced a great game of bowls which ebbed and flowed throughout, G.I. Wilson just showing his class to confirm his status as one of the top two Crown Green bowlers in the country as he took the title 21.17.

Congratulations to winner PAUL MORGAN winner in 2008, he became the first person to retain the trophy.
Paul started the better racing into a 16 - 3 lead after 14 ends. Andy then strung together a 9 break to reduce the deficit to 16 - 12, only for Paul to pull away again to lead 19 - 12. After exchanging singles to make the score 20 - 13, a bad lead from Paul allowed Andy to get in and with a 1 - 2 - 2 making the score 20 - 18. A poor lead from Andy was punished with Paul playing a foot bowl. Andy struck but missed so Paul was again champion with a 21 - 18 victory.

Contratulations to Ding, comisserations to the other 31 contestants. Many thanks on behalf of Spen to all players & spectators alike who supported the 17 winter sweeps that started back in October 2008.
My most endearing memory of the winter was the army of players (and spectators) who turned up early on one Saturday in February to sweep 4-5 inches of partially frozen snow off the green. You guys put the Spen members (or lack of them that day) to shame.
See you all in October 2009.
