In the second staging of the Championship Challenge between the winners of the Peterborough and Spalding leagues, it was Spalding-based Ayscoughfee who retained the trophy following a 60-52 defeat of Parkway A at Market Deeping.

A new trophy was dedicated at the weekend to the memory of John Dickenson, a distinguished servant to both the English Bowling Federation, with whom he served as president and chairman, and the Northants Bowling Federation, where he held a number of administrative posts over many years.

His widow Mary, together with her daughter and husband, Sarah and Simon Goundry, were at Whittlesey Manor to see the shield, donated by Shotbowl’s Trevor Collins, competed for between the host club, where John began his long association with bowls, and a Northants Bowling Federation team led by county president Tony Mace.
