Barry Collins, Chairman of Glaxo Bowling Club, said: "Our thanks to all the bowlers who helped out on the day and those Glaxo members who prepared the green in excellent condition for the competition, and to Ulverston Town Council for supplying the trophy and refreshments.

"We now hand over the baton to Lindal Bowling Club, who host the 2025 competition, and hope you have a successful day which we had."
