The tournament was won last year by Dave Dickinson and Alf Moore, after they defeated Billy Wilson and Thelma McBratley in what was a high-quality final and the former duo is back next weekend to defend the title.

Lower Holker will be hoping they have as close a finish as they did in 2018, where Lindal duo Dickinson and Moore eventually got themselves over the line in a nip-and-tuck final in which both pairs produced some excellent bowls in the sunshine.
