Competition winner Steve Bolton was presented with the Mayor’s Trophy, the oldest trophy played for annually in the LSA Men’s Bowling League, by the Mayor of Fylde, councillor John Singleton.

Coun Singleton said: “The Cheerful Sparrows organisation was set up during the Boer War to support widows and children of said war and was named after a porter (a Mr Sparrow) on Victoria Station who was renowned for his cheerfulness.

“The organisation is now linked to the Fylde with the Ormerod Trust and holds an annual competition supported by the Marine 
Park Bowling Club at Fairhaven.”
