Observer bowls glory for Mann
GWENN Mann avenged last year's defeat in the final of the Observer Cup ladies' singles with a commanding victory over defending champion Mary Bray at the Sidley Martlets greens.
The Bexhill Women bowler played some good bowls to see off her Polegrove Ladies opponent 22-8 and erase the memory of the previous year's agonising 21-20 reverse.
Nigel Hooper came within a whisker of clinching a double double. The Martlets ace, who won both competitions last time out, took the men's singles by scoring 13 unanswered shots to run out a 21-7 winner against Phil Saunders, but just missed out on repeating his success in the Stan Howe Men's Pairs despite a thrilling fightback.
