Sheerness Town (St George’s) Bowls
Club player Debbie Baker will compete in the national finals
of the 2 Wood Singles championships next week.
Baker, pictured, from
Minster, takes to the national stage just weeks after
clinching the Kent title and will compete from Monday at
Leamington Spa Bowling Club, Warwickshire.
The Kent County Women’s Bowling
Association finals day took place in mid-July and Baker’s
appearance in the final was enough for a place in the
nationals. She took the county crown by beating Jane Cogle (Borough
Green) 16-11.
"I was gobsmacked to win the title,"
admitted Baker. "It was a nice thing to win and I’m pleased.
It’s been a good season so far."
Baker will be looking to emulate the
performance of fellow Island bowler and former St George’s member
Wendy King, who won the national title last year.
Shortly after completing the 2 Wood
finals, Baker will take part in the National Championships for the
Triples, which start on Saturday, August 7.
She will be joined by fellow St
George’s players Amy and Judy Banes. The triples team reached the
finals of the Kent competition but lost to Folkestone Park.
