The Tournament attracted an international field, with sixteen teams of bowlers from across the UK and Algarve taking part. Following an initial round-robin stage, all the teams entered the knockout stages. A high standard of bowling was on display from all the teams and there was a nail-biting finish as the two teams in the final fought for the trophy.

The Tournament was won by Russell Morris, John Macrae and Martin Sillwood with Bryan Weir, Iain Mulholland and George Allan being worthy runners-up. The weather was beautiful throughout and all the competitors enjoyed both the bowling and social side of the Tournament. The 2024 Tournament will run from 25th to 29th September and entry details are available on the Club website (www.alvorbowlsclub.com).
