THERE’S a double-header of quality at the Griffin Bowling Club this weekend.

On Saturday the Sixteen field sponsored by secretary Frank Greenwood includes a handful of Yorkshire County bowlers (11am).

Then, on Sunday at 10am, it’s the second preliminary of the Griffin Rosebowl, which is sponsored by Lockwood Con and Gareth McMahon and carries a prize pot of £640 with £250 to the winner.

Again there is a county contingent for the 31-up event, all bidding to claim one of the four qualifying places (all off three except where shown).
