The Paul Magee Classic is back. The tournament, set up in memory of bowler Paul Magee, who sadly passed away in 2008, returns this Sunday, with over 150 people taking part.
This event is one of the most important days of the bowling calender in my opinion, a day where not only can the Irish game come together in respect for a true gentleman, but also where awareness can be raised about motor neurone disease, of which Paul died, and the work which is done by the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.
The bowling itself begins at 9 am, with a second squad beginning at 11 am. Finals begin at 1 pm. The tournament is again a mystery doubles tournament, with competitors bowling two games before discovering after they play who they're partner is. Teams placed 2nd to 9th play make the playoff to compete against the number one team in the final.
As I said before this, for me, is one of the most important dates on the bowling calender. This is so much more than a bowling tournament, it is a chance to remember a true hero, one who anyone can take infinite amounts of inspiration from.
Another great day Jason.Looking forward to next year already.
