Honorary Secretary /Treasurer Foreword

I would like to welcome everyone to this years Championship Finals and thank oursponsors for their continued sponsorship of our finals day programme.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the clubs for making their greensavailable for ties during the season, especially those who did so at short notice in times ofemergency.

This could be the last time the Finals will be played on a Saturday due to the start date ofthe Andrew Hamilton Trophy being two weeks later from next season.Consequently the Finals will be played, from 2012, on a Sunday, although this has still to beratified at the AGM.

I wish all the players a successful and enjoyable day. Good luck to you all.

Finally, I would like to thank President Andrew McLean and his Directors for their supportduring the past year.

JIM RYAN Honorary Secretary/TreasurerGlasgow Bowling Association

Another season has drawn to a close and our team can be proud of the efforts made thisyear.

The season started with successful trial games and a win over Wigtonshire in the league atHawthorn. A visit to West Netherton resulted in a narrow defeat (6 shots) to a goodAyrshire team. Our last game at Stamperland resulted in a loss by 24 shots. Overall, it wasa good year and I expect to challenge the best next year.

Winner of the Donald Morris Trophy was Steven Borthwick (Anniesland)

Congratulations to Brian Bowers, Mark Kelsey, Callum Taggart and Paul Ward on beingselected for the Scotland Under 25 trials at Blackhill.

I would like to thank Director Peter Cowie, Past Presidents John Fullerton, Keith Kittridgeand George Palmer, together with coaches Jake Condi, George Gardiner, Gerry Love andNorman Thomson for all their help during the season.

This competition was first played for in 1855 and was played on a home and away basis.The first game took place on Ayrshire greens on 2nd August 1855 with the return playedon Glasgow greens on 9th August 1855. Glasgow won both games by 1187-902 and1282-822 respectively.Wellcroft was the winning club over the two games. In the twogames not a single Ayrshire club won.

The Eglington JugPresented to the Bowlers of Glasgow and Ayrshire by Archibald, Earl of Eglington andWinton in 1887. Its great size and the extreme beauty of its tracery and ornamentation,render it a trophy worthy to be contended for by the two great counties to which it hasbeen presented.

• Ayrshire has won the trophy 85 times and Glasgow 59 times.• The trophy was not played for during the First and Second World Wars.• In 1856 the competition was abandoned due to adverse weather conditions.• Top winners: Ayrshire, Dreghorn 8 times. Glasgow,Wellcroft 7 times.

Burns Crystal VaseIn 2001, both Associations were pleased to accept an inscribed ornate vase for presenta-tion to the highest-up club on the losing side. Both Ayrshire and Glasgow have won it 5times.

The Glasgow v Ayrshire competition is still the biggest one day competition in the world.In 1905, a high of 760 rinks consisting of 3040 bowlers took part. Even today the com-mitment of bowlers from both counties for this competition is still as high as it was inthe early 1900’s. In 2010, 640 rinks consisting of 2560 bowlers took part.

Both trophy’s are presented at a celebration event held at the club of the winners of the‘Jug’. In 2010, the Eglington Jug was won by Townholm BC, Kilmamock and the Vase byShettleston BC.

This competition was first played for in 1896 and a trophy donated by Sir JohnWatson was won by Lesmahagow BC.

Glasgow had to wait until 1900 before registering a first victory byHutchesontown BC.

Lanarkshire have won the trophy 50 times and Glasgow 43 times.There were no games during the First and Second World Wars and in 1961,the competition was abandoned due to adverse weather conditions.

Top winners: Lanarkshire — Lesmahagow 7 times Glasgow — Kirkhill 5 times

Willowbank Bowling Club, of Glasgow, last won the Glasgow v Lanarkshire in2010.

The competition had been in decline for years, and in an effort to stimulateinterest in the competition a new format was agreed at a meeting of bothAssociations in 2008. 160 rinks from 40 clubs would be the minimumrequirement for the Competition to continue.

Unfortunately in 2010 the amount of rinks representing Lanarkshire dropped to133 which was well below the agreed minimum, therefore, reluctantly, bothAssociations agreed that the time had come for this competition to end.

It has been proposed that the Sir John Watson trophy, being such amagnificent trophy, should be played for on an annual basis. Discussions areongoing to use the aggregate score of the Andrew Hamilton Trophy gamesbetween both Associations to decide the winners of the trophy.
