The Bar-Be-Quick Pairs 2025 Finals Day



Congratulations to Stuart TIPPING & Alex DAWSON (Preston) for winning The £2550 Bar-Be-Quick Pairs at Ribblesdale Wanderers. They took home the £600 first prize after coming through a strong field, they defeated former winners Lee EVANS & Simon COUPE in the Final 21-19, having knocked out the defending champions Gareth COATES & Stuart KING 21-20 in the Semi Finals.


A great day with plenty of spectators enjoying the action, a big thank you to everyone who attended the qualifying and finals day!

Thank to the 64 pairs that entered.


Thanks go to all the members and non members who help out throughout both this event and our Ribblesdale Classic.


Thanks to The Grass Doctor and Christopher Snape for their work on the green over the season, an excellent surface yesterday.


A big thank you to our sponsors at Bar-Be-Quick for their continued support, it has been said that they have sponsored this event for 39 years and lets hope that they will continue in the future!

Also to all our other sponsors that support our bowls events at Ribblesdale, we’ve been able to pay out almost £12,000 in cash prizes across our three events, The £2550 Bar-Be-Quick Pairs, The £8,000 Ribblesdale Classic, The £1,350 Junior Ribblesdale Classic.


As well as all the other fantastic donations and bowls equipment we have for the bowlers, especially our juniors. It’s a huge effort and our Sponsors,


Partners and Supporters are instrumental in this! We will have a post about them all, please support them if you can!
