UPDATE FROM UCKFIELD BOWLS CLUB<br />

<strong>Uckfield</strong> Bowls Club held its popular Fred King Invitation Open Triples tournament last<br />
month. The weather stayed fine for the competition, which features 16 clubs across Sussex<br />
and was won by Peter Menniss, Valerie Menniss and Ian Scutt from Wealden Bowls Club; the<br />
runners-up being Debbie Juden, Tony Mercer and Ian Prior from Woodingdean.<br />
Meanwhile, <strong>Uckfield</strong> has enjoyed a good start<br />
in both the Mid Sussex League (MSL) and the<br />
John Spriggs League. They beat Burgess Hill<br />
away by 8 points to 2 in the first MSL fixture,<br />
followed by an emphatic 10-0 home win<br />
against Felbridge. Results were echoed in the<br />
John Spriggs League, with an 8-2 victory at<br />
home against Burgess Hill, and a 10-0 away<br />
win at Felbridge.<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong>'s results in the Horam League have<br />
however been disappointing, with losses<br />
against Herstmonceux, Hellingly, Wadhurst<br />
and Rotherfield, with one victory against<br />
Groombridge and a draw against Ringmer.<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong>'s season has been tinged with<br />
sadness, as their President, Mike Wilson,<br />
passed away on 9 June after a long illness. A<br />
minute's silence was held before the home<br />
match against Felbridge as a mark of respect.<br />
