WELCOME TO THE 2019 LÍNEA DIRECTA NATIONAL BOWLS CHAMPIONSHIPS

O

nce again Línea Directa is sponsoring the National Championships as they have done every year since 2016. Indeed, in those intervening years they have also sponsored the Valencian and Andalucian Championships as well at the Champion of Champions competition, the most recent of which was held just 3 weeks ago, at Vistabella and San Miguel Bowls Clubs.

Of course sponsorship should always be a give and take relationship in so far as Línea Directa would hope to attract benefits in the form of insurance policy sales in return for their financial support. So it is important that if we are to repay the loyalty shown to us over the last four years by one of the country’s largest insurers, that we, at the very least, look at their products when we are in the market to make such a purchase.

Indeed club Management Committees could also help by publicising the company’s products, perhaps considering the same when renewing their own bowls club policies and of course the occasional recommendation to a friend would also go a long, long way.

If we as bowlers are willing to support Línea Directa whenever we can, it shows them that we are appreciative of their support, and when we look to renegotiate our sponsorship arrangements in subsequent years it could just be the difference that we need to get them on board once again.

N EW FE B PRE S I DE NT PROM I S E S MORE S U PPORT FOR BOWLE RS

Once again it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 25th National Championships, and am delighted that Linea Directa are, yet again, continuing to be are main sponsor, and hopefully, we will have other sponsors to assist us to cover the cost of this competition which will be particularly high this year as we have decided to have a round robin format due to the reduced number of entries.

Unless we are able to increase the number of entries next year, the future of this competition will be in danger, particularly with the continued uncertainty regarding the U.K’s position in Europe, and whether this will affect the numbers coming to live in Spain, which has always been our source of new members.

One change that may be to our benefit is that the FEB has appointed a new President, and following his presentation at a recent LLB meeting he has promised to try to help us, but, being new to the job, it may take a little time. However, we are still receiving a lot of support from the Andalucian and Valencian Federation Presidents.

The winners of last year’s National Mens and Ladies Singles, Ian Kenyon and Mary Dyer will be going to Australia later this year to represent Spain in the World Champion of Champions, and I

wish them the best of luck, and am sure they will not let us down.

I would like to thank the owners of the Emerald Isle and Greenlands for offering their greens at special rates and for providing co-ordinators and other helpers that are essential in the organisation of this event.

I reserve a special thanks for Suzi Cooper who has once again worked so hard receiving the entries, organising the draw and scheduling, and will be working even harder during the competition collating all results at the end of each day. Thank you Suzi!

Thanks also to the CBUMA for providing all the Umpires and Markers, and to Kevin Reardon of THE LEADER for all his assistance in the advertising of this event, and the production of this programme.

I look forward to having a chat with as many of you as I can during the Championships and WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK IN THE 2019 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Bob Donnelly.

National Director.

Top players on show at 2019 Linea Directa Spanish National Lawn Bowls Championship

By Andrew Atkinson The Linea Directa 2019 Spanish National Lawn Bowls Championship staged at Greenlands Bowls Club, Los Montesinos, and at The Emerald Isle BC in La Florida, is set to feature the best players in Spain.

"The Spanish National Committee will be in attendance at the evening opening ceremony at the Emerald Isle on May 10, with club colours on show, ahead of the Championship getting underway on May 11," Greenlands Bowls Secretary Chris Dewar told me.

The councillor for Tourism and Sports at Los Montesinos Council, Ana Belén Juárez, has played a leading role in the Greenlands Bowls Club co-staging the Linea Directa Spanish National Lawn Bowling Championship that will take place during May 11-25.

"During the tournament Los Montesinos will become one of the centres of the sport during the two weeks the competition takes place, with many of the best players in Spain competing,” said Councillor Juarez.

Chris Dewar Greenlands Bowls secretary, reporter Andrew Atkinson, and club captain Dave Giddings.

Enrique Moya added: "We are really happy and delighted to co-stage the Linea Directa Spanish National Lawn Bowls Championship at Greenlands, having held the Valencia Bowls Championship in 2018."

Greenlands also hosted the Valencian Community last September, and has facilities of 40,000 square metres, including a golf and a putting complex, along with an 8 rink bowls green.

Enrique Moya has taken a leading role in making Greenlands Bowls and Golf complex into one of the best sports facilities within Spain, and indeed Europe, since becoming co-owner in June 2018, alongside Mario Revuelta, Pedro Garrido; aided by his father Justo Roch.

"We are doing our best to make Greenlands No. 1. to continue as one of the top sports complexes for Bowls and Golf," said Enrique.

The Linea Directa Spanish National Lawn Bowls Championship will conclude on May 25, with the semi finals and finals of all the disciplines being played, along with the presentations and closing ceremony at Greenlands Bowls Club.

Greenlands Bowls and Golf Sports Complex co-owner Enrique Moya told me: "A special thank you goes to Los Montesinos Town Hall, and the Councillor for Sports and Tourism Ana Belen Juarez for the support she has given Greenlands in co-staging the event."

The tournament is set to attract 2,000 spectators throughout Spain during the fortnight - with over 200 players competing in singles, doubles, triples and rinks, for women, men and mixed.

"Bob Donnelly chairs the Committee who has undertaken the overall organisation at Greenlands, to look after the events staged here," said Chris Dewar.

Greenlands will be co-staging the National competition, due to the facilities on hand: "We have 8 rinks - and done it all before," said Chris Dewar.

"Teams competing in the Championship come from as far as Tenerife, with northern clubs section as far as Javea, El Cid, in the Benidorm area," said Chris.

"The members of the International Spanish squad are mainly expats and the majority of the Spanish squad will be playing," said Chris.

"There will be 25 members of Greenlands Bowls competing in the event, including Ann Eagle, the ex-Spanish pairs champion," said Chris.

"Other noted players include San Miguel's Lynn Greenland, and Terry Morgan from Quesada, all members of the Spanish squad, along with Martin Foulcer from Vista Bella," said Chris.

Mixed National Triples - Current holders Noel Davies, Fred & Gail Willshire (2017)

Mixed National Fours

“The past year has seen the Spanish Squad continue to grow and improve”.

Last year, we were invited to join the “big boys” table, being asked to play in a 10 Nation International tournament in Cardiff, Wales, which included strong teams from Australia and Malaysia.

This was good practice for the Atlantic Championships 2019 in Cardiff. Whatever happened, the experience of playing against some of the World’s top players was always going to be invaluable experience for a few of the players.

The squad, many of whom had never played on grass before, equipped themselves very well.

The highlight being a Bronze medal in the Gents Triples – Julian Pering, Derek Eldon and Terry Morgan.

Once again, the players did themselves and Spain proud.

Best foot forward for Debbie Colquhoun, June Bawdry, Carol Broomfield, Gill Atkinson, Eve Bell and Jenny Thompson.

Finding form for World Championships

As part of the preparation for the Atlantic Championships, we also played, in the now annual, Spain vs Malaga test match. Again, the squad came up trumps and quite clinically, defeated Malaga. The weekend was a complete success and very enjoyable for all those who took part.

In March, we sent a team to the 5 Nations Test Series in Cyprus. Spain sent a mixed team of experienced Squad players with a sprinkling of players who hadn’t played a full international before.

An in-joke in the squad is that no matter what realistic targets I give them, they very seldom deliver what I ask, preferring to go that little bit further instead. Even on the few occasions they hit below the target it has never been through the lack of effort or team mentality.

to Debbie Colquhoun who managed the squad. Debbie you did a cracking job, thanks.

So next up is the Atlantic Championships in Cardiff. The squad has been hit with some late call offs due to personal reasons. The Atlantic Championships are used to qualify for the World Championships being held in Gold Coast, Australia.

The single biggest hurdle for the squad will be playing on grass, in May in Wales and how they adjust to it. It is a big ask. I am however, confident that we can go to Wales and qualify in at least some of the disciplines. I KNOW one thing however, that all the squad will go to Cardiff and give 100% effort in the pursuit of doing so.

So, the squad rolls up in Cyprus with the target of enjoying themselves, getting some more experience and learning from it. Mid table results I would have been happy with… So what do they do instead…. They win the Ladies Singles, Ladies Pairs (unbeaten), Gents Singles, Gents Triples and Gents Rinks. But the cherry, on top was they won the Gold Medal Gents Team event AND won the Overall Team event.

So from me personally, and am sure from all those involved in bowling in Spain, well done and congratulations to June Baldry, Debbie Colquhoun, Carol Broomfield, Jenny Thompson, Gill Atkinson, Roli Bell, Craig Lewis, Greg Sperring, Terry Morgan and John Pooley.

I was unable to go to Cyprus, so it would be remiss of me not to pay special thanks

By Graham Cathcart Photos John Pooley

Lastly, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the squad in the past year for their hard work and support. I would also like to thank personally, and publicly, Bob Donnelly for his support, his “acting as go between” between the Squad and the Federation and for being my sounding board.

As ever, I am on the lookout for players who would like to be involved with the squad. If you are interested, please do not hesitate in contacting me. We can then discuss what is required and perhaps arrange a trial.

Similarly, I am also on the lookout for people to help with the management / coaching side of things. I can be contacted at> graham.cathcart@me.com
