The 2010-11 committee are pleased to announce that this year’s Find of the Year (for commitment to club events and socials) is Adele Louth and this year’s Fresher of the Year (for club and tournament performances) is Lleufer Sinsua.

☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ Over the last year Adele has been an ever present figure at club socials and has endeavoured to take part in as many club events as was physically possible. ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ Lleufer has continually been one of the clubs best performing bowlers at tournaments this season and has topped the clubs intramural league performance tables during the course of the Winter and Summer League. ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

Additionally both have shown immense levels of commitment since joining the club last October (2010) which was recently underpinned by their desire to join the clubs Committee.

The outgoing committee would like to congratulate them both and wishes them continued success in the future, both on and off the field (… lanes) of play.

Saturday (19th February) saw the 2011 Sheffield Quads (Student Division) Tournament take place.

Hull University sent 2 teams this year Hull A (Mark Aldred, Lleufer Sinsua, Mitchell Wilson and Peter Pearce) and Hull B (Nick Colley, Mike Gaskell, Dan Cornelius and Adele Louth).

Although we’re pleased to report that both teams performed more than amicably, it was Hull B who truly shone. Picking up an Overall 2nd place, managing a 2nd in the Doubles Section and winning the Trios Section! (Securing the first silverware for the club this season).

Club Captain Mark Aldred didn’t let the B Team have all the limelight though and came away with High HCP Game, bowling a massive 282 (232 on Scratch alone!)

The Committee would like to thank everyone who took part in this semester’s intramural league and we hope you enjoyed participating as much as we enjoyed hosting.

Medals for the semester were awarded as follows:

Gold (Champions): Mitchell Wilson, Dave Willsher, Dan Cornelius

Congratulations to Mitchell Wilson (Cpt), Dave Willsher and Dan Cornelius who are this year’s Winter League (2010) Champions. They finished with an 8 point lead in the end (accumulating 46 points) and in the process managed an impressive 210 (HCP) player average.

Runners-Up spot went to Paul Farr (Cpt), Ian Cottis and Bryan Jones (with 38 points) and 3rd Place went to Mike Gaskell (Cpt) and Jay Sridhar, who nicked the final medal spot due to a greater HCP player average over Mark Aldred’s (4th) and Luke Fenton’s (5th) teams all of whom had 32 points.

Sunday (21st November) saw the 2010-11 BUCS Cup group stages take place.

Hull University this year had been drawn in Northern Group A along with Sheffield University and arch rivals Leeds University (now bolstered by HUTBC’s former president Pete Thornley) - How fate works her wicked ways.

The day had started well for Hull initially playing Sheffield and managing to come away with a 9-7 victory (securing 3 points in the process).

However come the match that really counted once again Leeds’ elite bowlers were far too strong for Hulls A and B teams, not even a 263 game from Vice-President Luke Fenton was enough to snatch any points and a brace of
4-0’s put an end to any hopes of HUTBC progressing any further in this year’s tournament finally succumbing to an 11-5 defeat and in doing so having to settle for second place in the group.

Saturday (9th October) saw the BUTBA Masters (Invitational) Tournament take place.

Three bowlers that represented Hull during the course of last season (09-10) were invited to take part in the handicap section and we’re pleased to announce that all three of them performed well.

Peter Thornley (who will be bowling for Leeds University during the 10-11 season) won the section, with current club members Mike Gaskell placing 3rd and Mitchell Wilson finishing a respectable 6th.
