BOWLS teams from across the country came to Chelmsford last weekend for the final of the Denny Cup.
The Falcon Bowling Club in Belsteads Farm Lane played host to the semi-finals and final of the tournament.
After the Mayor of Chelmsford opened the event, the teams – from as far afield as Hartlepool and Blackpool – got down to business.
They had brought coachloads of followers down to Essex, and throughout the day all of the teams showed an excellent team spirit – even when things weren't going their way.
The average age of the bowlers on show was in the 30s – dispelling the myth of bowls being a sport for the older generation – and the club put on a great show, with an excellent spread of lunch laid on by their new chef.
Eventually the Wey Valley Bowls Club were crowned champions after beating Hartlepool in the final.
The Falcon Bowling Club are always looking for new members who could one day be competing for the club at this sort of level.
