On Sunday 8th February 2009 Tony Webb (Riverain) reached the Final of the All-England Champion of Champions Indoor Bowls Tournament.

He had qualified for the last 16 from Areas 15/22.

The event was sponsored by Warners Leisure Hotels and held at its Lakeside Coastal Resort.

Tony defeated Neil Smith (Westlecot), Martin Cooper (West Denton), and Billy Jackson (Lincoln). He played an inspired Greg Harlow (City of Ely) in the Final and lost 21 - 9.

Tony's display was awesome especially against Billy Jackson who won recently a world event. Greg deserved his victory but well done to Tony for getting there and mixing it with some of the best indoor bowlers in the world.

 

We mustn't forget that Carol Brown (Watford) also qualified for the Ladies last 16 but lost her first match 21 - 17 to the Bridgwater qualifier. Again well done Carol for getting that far in a National Competition.
