BCGBA Junior Merit winner Aaron Brine with Ken Howarth BCGBA President
The BCGBA Junior Merit Trophy was won by Aaron Brine from Yorkshire. Aaron was in dominant form, and was particularly impressive along the starting edge, and beat Kian Thomas from Wales in the final.
The event was played at the Heaton Park crown green bowling greens in north Manchester. In only their second year the converted flat greens were in good running condition and proved a challenge for all the bowlers on the day. The link to the video of the final is at the end.

Throughout his bowling career Steve has always supported the admin side of the game as well as a keen player of the game.
As a club secretary, association secretary, county delegate on the BCGBA (National Governing Body) Management Committee, Media Officer for the BCGBA, Merseyside champion in 2002 and Merseyside County President (2014-15) Steve has always been keen to promote the game especially through the broadcast of the game on TV or Internet. Steve set up the LIVE BOWLS YouTube channel which became the Bowls Observer channel and, through the LDBA, runs national competitions.
Seeing an avenue to report on and promote the game Steve set up the Bowls Observer on-line magazine.
