THE Derek Gawthorpe Memorial Bowling Shield was donated to Lowerhouse Bowling Club on Lowerhouse Lane in memory of Derek by his wife Margaret.

Derek enjoyed playing for the club's teams and was captain of the Tuesday team until shortly before he died.

The shield was won by Brian Smith and his wife Barbara was runner up.

The competition attracted 19 members of the club and was played in a round robin format in glorious sunshine.

A cheque for £120, which was raised by the members, was handed to Margaret to pass on to the hospice.
