BBC2 Invitation Pairs Crown
Green Bowling Tournament from the M and B Sports and Social Club, Birmingham. Few would have predicted tonight's first semi-final, but ANDREW SPRAGG and DAVID PLATTS from Chesterfield meet the Midlanders PETER VARNEY and BOB GILFILLAN. Both pairings knocked out former champions in their quarter-final matches in Nicholson and Hitchen, the 1985 winners, and Armson and Burrows, who were defending the title.
