ANDERSON PIGGOTT CUP

Ballymoney Bowling Club, holders of the Anderson Piggott Cup for Senior Teams, played Limavady at Portrush Bowling Club. The warm weather had dried out the green, made it a faster bowling surface and, with a strong wind coming across the Atlantic Sea the conditions were tricky making it difficult for both teams.

Ballymoney were ahead after five ends, and finished convincing winners. Past NIPBA President Kieran Adams presented the Anderson Piggott Cup to Brian McAlary, President of Ballymoney BC.
