Chesham Bowling Club's Australian Pairs competition held on the Bank Holiday Monday produced the youngest ever winner of a trophy at the club. Thomas Roker, aged 10, was paired with club secretary Chris Fillery and they went on to win the competition. Australian Pairs is a format where players alternate between lead and skip bowlers, so Thomas really had to play his part. The pair won the first match 15 – 1, and went on to win overall by 3 shots.
