GRAHAM HIRST LIFTS ROSEBOWL

The 2023 Rosebowl champion is Graham Hirst from Lowerhouses CBC, but it was tightest final you could imagine beating Ray Whitwam 21-20.

The last 8 played on Friday 22 September at a sunny Netherton Con green. The line-up featured Paul Rangeley who has sponsored the competition in the last few years.
