CROWN green bowlers in Winsford will be taking to the turf for a series of prestigious competitons in the spring.

Entries are now being invited for the new-look 1998 Winsford Super Cup events, now in their 10th year.

The new format sees the main event reduced to eight players, with four playing at home and four away.

This is until the semi-final stage which will be played, along with the final, on one day at the home of the sponsors, Winsford Conservative Club.

The entry fee is £30 per team and the draw will now be more localised according to entries.

The age limit for the Winsford Super Cup veterans team event is reduced to 55 years and over, with only six players required per team. Entry is £15 per team.

The Winsford Ladies Super Cup is also six players at £15 per team, with all fees and sponsorship money guaranteed to be paid out in all events.

Any clubs who wish to enter this tournament can call Arthur Land for an entry form on 01928 731767.

Arthur is also offering all competition bowlers exciting news on more than £50,000 worth of heats each week from April to late September.
