Shipley Club were winners of the Eric Hutchinson Memorial Trophy after beating Skipton Craven 234-195 in the final at Broad Oak Bowling Club on Sunday.

In a repeat of the 2010 final, Skipton started as favourites, having won that clash, as well as last year’s semi-final. Shipley, however, were the quickest out of the blocks, with Dave Bland rolling back the years, as he carded a superb 21-6 success, ably assisted by Yorkshire junior champion Matthew Jacques (21-10).

Steve Pickles replied with a 21-12 for Skipton to reduce the deficit to 17 chalks, and when Graham Perry carded a 21-16 win, Skipton were only 12 points adrift.

Tight wins for Graham Lomax (21-20) and Mick Demain (21-18) kept Skipton in the game but with Chris Jacques (21-19) and David Jacques (21-15), Shipley had extended their lead to 16 chalks after eight jacks.

Shipley carded the last four games, with Mick Gadd’s 21-8 the match clincher, as Shipley took the title for the second time.

Rufford held a narrow six-point lead after four jacks, thanks to a superb 21-7 victory by Tom Lawrence.

Drighlington turned it around in the middle four jacks to lead by eight chalks, thanks to wins from Carol Sharp (21-11) and Ronnie Benton (21-12).

Martin Benson’s 21-10 win kept Rufford in the game but when Josh Gamble carded a 21-16, Drighlington led by only two points, with the last two games on the green. But Guy Barrie won 21-16 against Lisa Rice meaning Ryan Benson’s 21-20 loss to Mark Smith was still good enough to see his side home by just two chalks.
