AFTER reaching the Finals Day of the Bar- Be-Quick Rectella International Floodlit Dou­ bles at Ribblesdale Wanderers for the last five years, Brian Duncan and Norman Fletcher were knocked out in the first round last week. Great Harwood pair John Chatwin and Pat Holt won through after the 100-minute thriller


in front of over 300 people. John and Pat raced into an early 12-4 lead as Brian and Norman struggled to get the longer


length they were looking for. However, they pulled the score back to


game, but Duncan hit the jack off the green to sta rt a mini recovery which saw them claw


back to 19-10. But two ones from John and Pat gave them a


deserved win. In the second round, home players Billy


pair Ray Turner and Colin Massey, George Lennard and Brian Laycock, and Alan Cornall and Ken Wells from Great Harwood. Next week is Finals Week, with the third taiking place on Monday,
