The return trip from Preston to Glenrothes is 500miles and there was a lot of enthusiastic singing of the Proclaimers song on the journey.

The 16 young bowlers enjoyed a weekend of hard practice bowling spending around six hours on the lanes on the Saturday and another four on the Sunday by which time the improvements in everyone’s bowling was there to be seen. There was a huge amount of enthusiasm displayed over the weekend and an exciting fun tournament with some of the juniors from the Blackpool YBC.

Both Blackpool juniors and the Lancashire under 14 squad coaches are looking at the possibility of trying to arrange to come to Scotland for a return match.

Many thanks to the helpers, coaches and drivers for their hard work and well done to everyone for making it such a great weekend.
