BLACKBIRD LEYS PAIRS CLASSIC

BACKGROUND INFORMATION


 
The Blackbird Leys Pairs Classic is still a relatively young Competition (when compared against the likes of Preston Cup etc.), but still it has managed to establish itself the No.1 Mens Pairs Open Competition in the area. It was originally created because a Mens Pairs competition did not exist in Oxfordshire, and Bowls as a whole was on a high in terms of interest and number of members. As a result the competition was greatly received.

The First competition was held in 1989, with B. Allin and J. Mackie the first winners of the competition. Since then the competition has been won by Members of several clubs, including Blackbird Leys twice! Click HERE to see the previous winners.
