THE Griffin season gets under way on Sunday with a competitive Sixteen (11.00).

It is sponsored by club president Alan Hirst and Duncan Reeves is rated the 7/2 favourite to take the honours at the Colne Valley winter club.

It will be a special day in any case because, at around 4pm when the competition is over, Paul Sigsworth’s ashes will be spread on the green (friends and fellow bowlers are welcome to attend).

In the Sixteen, the draw is (odds in brackets): Roy Sutton (10) v Graham Sigsworth (12), John Ineson (20) v Dave Scott (8), Dennis Tattersley (25) v John Abbott (25), Peter Kain (5) v Wayne Dews (6), Mark Richardson (16) v Duncan Reeves (7/2), Ray Whitwam (12) v Paul Ingleby (5), Mark Bramall (6) v Dave Walkden (10), Kieron O’Prey (14) v Patrick Conneely (33).
