Ettalong wins Bancroft Trophy

Ettalong Bowling Club has won the 2016 Bancroft Trophy.

Umina Beach Bowling Club hosted the competition which took place on October 10.

The first Sid Bancroft Trophy was held in 1969 and this year was battled between four women's clubs: Ettalong, Everglades, Gosford and Umina.

Each club entered 16 players in the competition consisting of four teams of four, each playing three games of 11 ends.

Two games were played before lunch followed by another game after.

Ettalong had won the trophy for the past four years and this year was no exception with the Ettalong women emerging victorious through hot and windy conditions.
