2024 National Finalists

EIBA National Championships

Once again we had several players from Hornsea who reached the EIBA National Championships in Nottingham.  And once again we had a National Champion.  Those playing at Nottingham were:

Inter County Men’s Over 60’s – Yorkshire were runners up with the following playing at the finals – Nick Cleveley, Paul Footitt, Cliff Holmes, Dave Tooley & Mike Watson (Jnr)

Mens Fours  – Mark Goodfellow, Carl Stoakes, Matthew Bell and Jack Bird reached the last 16 but were knocked out in the first round at Nottingham.

Ladies Two Ball Singles – Katy Baxter reached the Semi Finals

Mens Singles – Jack Bird reached the Semi Finals

 

Mens Over 60s Singles – WON by Cliff Holmes !!!!

After four tough games at Nottingham IBC, our own Cliff Holmes has come home with the title of English Over 60’s Men’s Singles Champion 2024.   But the trophy is no stranger to Hornsea IBC as it has been won three times over the last five years by three separate players, the others being Dave Tooley and Paul Footitt.

CONGRATULATIONS CLIFF!

 

 

 

 

 

AND GOING EVEN FURTHER WERE LAST YEAR’S EIBA LADIES TRIPLES WINNERS ……………

BRITISH ISLES CHAMPIONS 2024

Congratulations to Holly Chaytor, Katy Baxter, and Lydia Cutmore on becoming the British Isles Indoor Bowls Ladies Triples Champions.  After winning the EIBA title last year, the ladies represented England in the British Isles Championships at Falcon IBC in Essex last month.  In a tight game, Holly’s last wood took the jack back to secure not only the title but the overall championship for the full English team. 

Well done all!!
