YORK'S Iain Boyle, Paul Mooring and Phil Parsons easily won the Yorkshire Indoor Bowling Association Knockout Triples competition, beating Hornsea 27-19 at Featherstone.
Although they trailed 4-0 after three ends, the game was over as a contest after nine ends when the York trio completed a run of six winning ends which brought them 18 shots.
It became a double success for York as Charlie Bateman and Frank Turner won the Pairs Final against Hornsea's Ian Paddy and Tom Walker 19-16.
They won only five of the last 14 ends, but made each count as they scored fours on three of them.
Philip Scott made it a good weekend for the York club as he beat New Earswick's Rob Domville 21-17 in the Yorkshire Under-18a Singles final.
Scott had a 20-11 advantage before Domville came back with six shots over four ends, but then the York player got the decisive winning shot.

Although they beat Redcar 78-71 New Earswick picked up only eight points, while Metrodome beat Thornaby 12-2 on points to win the championship by five points.
At Huntington Road, Bill Waldie, Colin Fawcett, Dave Sykes and Ray Bowman won 23-12, while Bob Edwards, Bob Howland, Mick Stannard and Joe Cooper came from 9-8 down after ten ends to win 19-12.
At Redcar, Barry Johnson, Barry Harrison, Ralph Tiplady and Dave Kermode scored a six on the tenth end to take the lead 13-12 and they scored a single on the next.

In the other rink Ken Plowman, Graheme Watson, Pete Ransom and Brian Hardcastle were involved in a very close game.
They edged ahead on the 18th end with a three to make the score 15-13. The added to that lead with a single, but then with time left for only one more end they dropped a four to lose 17-16.
It was a disappointing finish to what had been an excellent season for New Earswick.
