Bryn and runner-up Ioan Critchlow will go on to represent Wales in the British Junior Merit Finals in Derbyshire on 16-August.
The Club’s other qualifier, Daniel Jones was unfortunately eliminated in the first round.
Gwynedd Cup
The Club Team won the Gwynedd Cup, last Thursday 3-July, at Beaunaris. This is the fourth time the Club has won the Cup, the other three in the eighties, and they were runners-up in 2001.
They were the underdogs against Deganwy, but after the first four blocks, with good performances by Dave Massey and Terry Hampton the teams were level on aggregate. The games wee tight but with two good wins 21-11 by Neville Roberts and Gareth Williams, the team came through to win by 5 points.
The team was Gareth Hughes, Bryn Hughes, Daniel Jones, Alan Hughes, Terry Hampton, Dave Massey, Neville Roberts, Gareth Williams and reserve Bill Hitchinson.
D.T.Evans, the President of the Gwynedd Bowling Association presented the Cup to Gareth Hughes, and the Club will go forward to represent Gwynedd in the Club Championship on 7-September.
