The final of the Rembrandt Claret Jug Trophy was held over from Finals Weekend and was played on a gloomy Thursday evening on September 14.

The format is a two wood mixed pairs competition with the winner being the best of three sets of seven ends.

Watched by club members taking shelter from the steady drizzle, veterans Di Davies and Richard Jones took on youngsters - Sara and James John-Davies.

Excellent bowling by both pairs saw honours even after three sets, this required an extra end to be played to decide the winners. In the gathering gloom, the last bowl of the match saw Sara gaining shot with a perfect delivery thereby retaining the trophy they won in 2022.

The trophy was presented to the winners by Hugh Colley (vice-chairman).

The annual Pembroke Dock Open Ladies triples competition was held at the Memorial Park on Saturday, September 17. Due to a number of late withdrawals, the competition consisted of a round robin format with the top four progressing to the semi-final stage, the winners meeting in the final.

The final was contested between a trio consisting of Eileen Chessell, Sally Carroll and Ann-Marie Main of Pembroke Dock BC and the Pendine trio of Pat Price, Liz Gulley and Pam Bowen.

Played in a steady drizzle, the result could have gone either way with the lead changing hands throughout the match.

On the very last end of the 2023 season, Pendine clinched victory with an excellent shot and lifted the trophy which was presented by Mrs. Di Davies (Club president) to the delighted trio.
