Frank Wills and Cornish Bowl Finalists Revealed

Both the Frank Wills Salver and Cornish Bowl finalists were finalised this weekend.

First of all on Saturday, Whitsand Bay saw off the challenge of Trethorne in the previously postponed Cornish Bowl match at Bude & N Cornwall GC. Whitsand Bay will now face Launceston in the final, with the latter having overcome West Cornwall 3 - 2 at Trevose the previous weekend.

Other wins for Carlyon Bay came from Duncan Powell and Martin Bullock (4&3 over Keith Nash & Kevin Veal), and Jason Gay and Kevin Martin (also 4&3 over the father and son pairing of Mark and Ross Hutchings). For West Cornwall the consolation wins came from Rod Jenkin and Lee Bushby (2&1 over Mark Bennellick and Martin Quantick) and Andrew Hitchens and Adam Barber (1 up on Jeff Hammett and Mark Rowe).
