29 Aug Broad Oak bowling pair are July Fight-back winners

Congratulations to Broad Oak bowlers Alan Ainley and Mike Stringer our July winners in the Well Bowled Fight-back of the Year competition. Playing away from home for their 10-man team Alan and Mike made a terrific come back after finding themselves 3-20 down with thirteen ends played. Staring into the jaws of defeat the pair dug deep, pulled the game level in nine ends and then, cheered on by their team mates, kept their nerve and took the win.

Many thanks again to Nick Blackburn of Well Bowled for being our judge.

Every month a ‘Fight-back of the Month’ award will recognise the player(s) who have made the most impressive recovery to win a game. Entry is open to everyone participating in a hvba game be that league or knock outs, six or ten man, pairs or singles – every hvba competitive game is eligible.

To enter players (or captains/team mates with the players permission)  simply need to email a copy/photo of the original match day score card, details above and on our Competition Entry pages. Please make sure the player names, club and match date details are all clear to read. Entries must be received within 3 days of playing and will be entered into the monthly award competition for the month in which the game took place.

Each month the winning person/pair will be determined on not only the deficit overturned, but also the circumstances such as who were the opposition, was it at home, away or on a neutral ground, the criticality of the game/match, handicaps etc. Winners will be announced each month on the hvba website so keep a look out for updates throughout the playing months.

Fight-back of the Year is sponsored by Well Bowled – stockists of all things bowling.
