An international line-up of 28 pairs of players from the Algarve, the UK, Ireland, Holland and Canada competed in the competition and a high standard of bowling was on display.

Following an initial round-robin stage the bowlers were streamed into two groups for the knock-out stages. One group continued in the main Tournament won by Ian Christey and Martin Heath, while the other bowlers entered the subsidiary Plate won by David McFarquhar and Ze Martins.

The weather improved as the Tournament progressed and the bowlers enjoyed both the bowling and social side of the Tournament. The 2023 Tournament will run from 27 March to 1 April and entry details will be available on the Club website www.alvorbowlsclub.com
