April’s men’s Player of the Month award went to Gordy Wynne-Smythe who impressed as he went undefeated in April, winning four games comfortably for Douglas A with a superb 21-19 win over the vastly experienced John Gelling (Marown).
April’s Junior Player of the Month was Katie Jacobs who picked up the award thanks to her solid start to the season winning her first match 21-9 at Ballaugh. Although beaten in her next match, Katie only lost out by just two chalks (19-21) to one of Castletown’s top bowlers – Hannah Drewett. Katie picked up a further three wins, beating Ballaugh’s Maria Dimsdale 21-16,(her only defeat of the season to date) then went on to win 21-12 against Lisa Bradshaw and then 21-11 against Joy Morris from Mooragh Park.
