PAUL SIGSWORTH picked up £240 and the Griffin Classic Challenge Trophy after a string of consistent performances.

In a one-sided final he defeated Richard Mozley 21-8, but Mozley had previously been in fine form and both players were the pick from an excellent day’s bowling on a pristine green at the private winter club.

Having won the previous 16, Sigsworth was delighted to pick up the glass goblet at the presentation at the Junction Inn – a trophy presented to the Griffin by British referees secretary Barrie Cotterell.

Sigsworth thanked greenkeeper Eddie Haigh, stalwart organiser Frank Greenwood and sponsors Griffin Lodge.

Club president Alan Hirst offered his congratulations to the finalists and thanked everyone who helped stage the event, including canteen staff Sarah and Robbie.

The last 16 of the season takes place this Sunday (11.30) and is sponsored by Sherie and Mark Wood.
