Spanish Nationals Success For Zurgena Bowlers

Congratulations to our very own Graham "Shootsie" Shoots who became the Spanish Men's Singles Champion in May, beating the once World Indoor Champion Peter Bonsor in straight sets at Greenlands Bowls Club, Alicante.

The competition was stiff, but Shootsie was victorious, bringing the cup to Almeria for the first time ever.

Next year he will go on to represent Spain in Australia at the Champion of Champions Competition, playing against the best of the best in the World!!!

We are proud to have him at our lovely little club in Zurgena!  This should inspire all of us!

Two Zurgena Ladies also excelled in the Nationals with Jan Dando missing out in the semi-final in a very competitive tie break to Lorna Cormack from ALBC.

In her first appearance at the Nationals, Maureen Hanratty did herself proud and finished third in her group so well done to all.

Shootsie will be defending his title closer to home as the Spanish National Championships are due to be held in our region in 2025. If you enjoy competitive bowls, then why not enter yourself.
