The Greenall Whitley Crown Green Bowling Handicap
In 1907, The Waterloo was born with 320 entries and total prize money of E25.
Eighty years later, there are
2,048 starters playing for a massive £20,000.
The final stages of this year's top crown green bowling bonanza commences this morning with the last 16 players taking to the green at the Waterloo Hotel in Blackpool.
The big question is, will crown green's No 1 competitor, BRIAN DUNCAN , winner in 1979 and 1986, still be there today to attempt to reach a record three wins in this championship?
This morning, there are four matches being played, the first two featured in this first programme of the two-day coverage.
