Dun Laoghaire Bowling Club hosts the annual invitational Champion of Champions Tournament. Only the Club Champions of BLI/LBLI affiliated clubs are invited to play in this competition each July. This competition has been organised by Dun Laoghaire B.C. for over 40 years. We were honoured by the attendance and assistance of Minister Mary Hanafin in 2008 and Cllr Marie Baker in 2009 with prize giving on the Final Day of the Champion of Champions.
The Champion of Champions has been run by Dun Laoghaire Bowling Club since 1968. It is the only tournament of its kind in the Republic of Ireland and is open by invitation only to the Ladies and Men’s Club Champion from each participating BLI & LBLI Club.
