36 Teams played a round robin over 3 days with the 6 Group winners and 2 best Runners up going forward to the knockout quarter final, semi final and final.
There was some excellent bowls played in a competitive but friendly spirit.
On behalf of all the competitors Derek Eldon thanked El Cid Bowls Club for running a well organised and superb 3 day competition. The teams represented came from six clubs, El Cid, BBC, Javea Green, Bonalba, Vistabella and special mention to 6 teams from Horadada.
