SO who will be this year's king of Almondbury bowling? The answer will be provided in the Biltcliffe Cup, the annual knockout competition for the village's best male bowlers.

It is sponsored by Bernard Jones, Almondbury BC and Almondbury Lib and is sure to be keenly contested.

The preliminary rounds are held at Almondbury BC tomorrow (6.30 start, 6.45 scratch) and at Almondbury Lib a week later, Friday, August 21 (same times), with the final at Almondbury BC on Friday, September 4 (6.30).

Cup holder and 1986 winner, Donald Crowther, takes on teammate Stuart Smart in his first round game and that promises to be a battle royale.

There's also a repetition of the 2000 epic final. On that occasion, Geoff Martin scraped home 21-20 against Tony Young, a four-time Biltcliffe winner and multiple merit winner. This year they meet at the Lib.

Alan Sharpe, the 1993,1996, and 1999 winner, takes on the Lib's subscription team captain Neil Jones. Edwin Young, who won in 2001, completes the line-up of previous cup holders and plays Andy Broughton.

It's bowl down to four on each green, with bowlers on their own green deducting two from handicap.
