A TEENAGE crown green bowler beat a veteran to win an annual match.

Joshua Haycock, 14, of Newsome, beat Keith Williams 11-3 to win the William and Mary Cup at Thongsbridge.

The match was organised by the Honley court of the Foresters friendly society.

Twenty-four bowlers took part.

The 12 knocked out in the first round went on to compete in the subsidiary competition.

Sheila Unwin kept the rosebowl she won last year, beating Robert Ferguson 11-7.

The event raised more than £230 for the British Heart Foundation charity.

Joshua has only recently started bowling at Thongsbridge Cricket and Bowling Club.
