Moss rolls up for Father’s Day win
Monday 16th June 2008, 11:49AM BST.
Andy Moss gave county bowls selector Bob the perfect Father’s Day gift by winning the Shropshire Star Merit for a second time.The Chester Road No 1 added to his 1999 triumph by beating Sir John Bayley star Spencer Clarke 21-13 in a sunshine final at Reman in Shrewsbury last night.
Moss lived up to his billing as 5-1 favourite at the start to join the elite band who have won the County Handicap and Merit in the same year.
And the 34-year-old’s success helped make up for losing in last year’s final as Peter Farmer (St Georges) made it three in a row.
The diary farmer from near Woore thanked everyone for making it such a special day, before paying special tribute to his parents.
“I’d like to thank mum and dad for supporting me over the years – and it hasn’t always been easy. Happy Father’s Day dad!” said a delighted Moss.
