The Bill Drabble Cup was held this year on Sunday 26th July, 2009.
The weather was fine again. There was some seriously competitive bowling during the day, with a new winner of the trophy.
Mike Gibbons won this year in a close fought final against one of the Club's newest members Chris Earl. Mike was heard to comment that 'it was just as well it wasn't a handicap competition, since considering the way Chris played, he would probably have been beaten'.
