BOWLING: A father-and-son bowling team have landed a British title in Northern Ireland.

Stourport's Dave and Craig Hall, both Gilt Edge members, were British Isles doubles champions in the short mat contest in Coleraine.

And Mike Noon, of Kidderminster, joined two other bowlers to land the triples title.

Dave Hall said: "We won the nationals pairs last year to get us to the British competition which included the Isle of Man.

"It had taken me years to get out of the county competition and make it to the nationals."

In the team event, England inflicted a rare defeat on Ireland but were runners-up to Wales.
