The Tournament attracted an international field, with fifteen teams of bowlers from across the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and the Algarve taking part. Following round-robin stages over the first four days of the tournament, the best four teams entered the semi-finals and final. A high standard of bowling was on display from all the teams, and there was an exciting finish as the final two teams fought for the trophy.

The teams were tied after the last end so an extra end was played to produce a winner. The Tournament was won by the ‘Lawn Rangers’ from the UK - Ken Clark, Carl Strotton and Mark ‘Sharky’ White. Paul Sutton, Jenny Sutton and Debbie Stewart, who all bowl for Floresta at Aldeia Azul in the Algarve, were very worthy runners-up. The competitors enjoyed both the bowling and social sides of the Tournament with many having already rebooked for 2025! The 2025 Tournament will run from 22nd to 26th September and entry details will be published on the Club website (www.alvorbowlsclub.com).
