FALLIN BOWLING
The final of the championship was played on Wednesday between J. Gwynne and J. Gwynne, Jr., when the former won by 21 shots to 10. This is the ninth time J. Gwynne has been champion of the Polmaise Club.
Historical Note: This remarkable match between father and son represents one of the most unique moments in Polmaise Bowling Club's history. John Gwynne Sr. was a dominant force in the club during the 1920s-40s, with this victory marking his ninth and final club championship. What makes this match particularly special is that he faced his own son in the final, showing how bowling had become a family tradition at Polmaise. The article above - dated 11th August 1942, from the Stirling Observer, shows the incredible build up to the match and the results of that years semi-finals by both Father and Son.
