BBC2 Invitation Pairs Crown Green Bowling Tournament The Final
For the first time in the history of Top Crown, the series has left Blackpool to be played this year at the picturesque Midlands venue - with E2,000 for the winners out of total prize money of £7,030. Whichever pairs reach the final from the last four, it is certainly going to be a match of the highest quality, with the holders - Strutt and Blackburn -just about favourites to be the first pair to win in consecutive years. Introduced by Richard Duckenfield from Mitchells and Butlers Social Club in Birmingham.
