Champions


In a pulsating final of the Rotary East Midland’s District 10 pin bowling tournament, Hucknall Rotary Club overcame a gallant effort by Bretby RC to be crowned District Champions 2012/13.  The final was staged at AFM Bowling Centre, Ilkeston.

Bretby started off strong as Hucknall struggled to find their rhythm   and took an early lead.  However the Hucknall team comprising of Ashley Maddock (Captain), Stuart  Whitehead, Neil South, Jack Gray and Kevin Rostance managed to strike back and established a lead of 49 points by the end of the first half. 

Hucknall consolidated their lead in the second period finishing with a total score of 1,114 running out worthy champions.  En route to the final they had beaten Trent Bridge, Alfreton, Arnold & Mapperley, Carlton and Sherwood Sunrisers and now, after beating Bretby, were presented the Champions Trophy by District Governor Dave Ashley.
