2009 ECBA OPEN TRIPLES
Sunday 13th September 2009

The 2009 ECBA Open Triples event was held at the Wallsend Memorial Hall (North Tyneside) on 13th September.

Forty triples entered the event and eight of the ten member counties were represented.

It was much appreciated that teams from Essex, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire made the long journey up north to take part in the competition.

North Tyneside proved to be excellent hosts and made everyone very welcome and all participants seemed to enjoy the event.

There were some really good games of bowls played throughout the day and North Luffenham put up a stern defence of their title losing narrowly on the last end of their semi final against Blakelaw.

The final itself was nip and tuck with Blakelaw seeming to have the momentum with three ends left to play however in the penultimate end Manley View scored five shots and took the lead into the final end and held on to take the title.
