Bowring Open call off through lack of entries
Lack of entries means the bid to re-launch the Bowring Open has been called off.
Despite the Wellington club finding a new sponsor and offering £1,000 in prize money, less than 30 bowlers had booked a place in the one-dayer that was scheduled for Sunday, October 2.
There are still limited spaces left on the same day at the Trench Mixed Doubles and but more of a chance of making a late entry in £2,100 Autumn Doubles at St Georges
