With such fierce competition amongst the Costa Blanca bowling community it is extremely unusual for three top tournaments to be won by the same people.

But this is exactly what Paul and Jan Brown, Chris Evans and Clive English have managed to achieve during the 2017-2018 bowling season. Their impressive series of wins in the Javea Saturday Triples, Benitachell Saturday Rinks and the El Cid Friday Pairs has seen them enter the record books as the first to manage this feat.

Each tournament took place over several months and with help from some of their fellow team mates they won all three competitions with a game to spare, but the one common denominator was that these four bowlers were in all three winning teams.
