Broderick the main man on home turf
The open singles circuit, entitled ‘Planet Bowls’ came to Wellingborough IBC at the weekend and attracted the usual field of 64 players, including many international players.
Of the local players, six from the host club got through the first round, including Dave Love, Tina Broderick, Paul Broderick, Curtis Johnson, Jamie Walker and Graham Maddams but others fell at the first hurdle, including Phil Exley (Desborough), Dennis Collins, Martin Walker, Tony Asher (all Wellingborough) and Tracy Nunn (Desborough).
Walker and Broderick proceeded to the quarter-finals, with the former taking out England bowler Danny Denison of Torquay comfortably 8-6 and 11-1. Broderick beat P Sharman 2-0 in a tie break.
Walker came undone in the quarter-final against S Jones, but Broderick came out on top by two sets to love against M Hyde and in the semi-final continued his good form to destroy S Jones 9-0 & 7-3 to reach the final.
The final saw Broderick pitting his skills against England international
Andy Ware of the City of Ely IBC.
Playing absolutely brilliant drawing bowls, Broderick was just untouchable, and he took the first set 9-3 in six ends and the second set 7-1 in six ends.
