Two Irish Championship Titles 2026

🏆☘️ A FANTASTIC DAY FOR THE NIBA
AT THE IRISH CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS ☘️ 🏆

Massive congratulations to our two Irish Champions following today’s IBA Finals. What a tremendous achievement for the NIBA and for Bangor Bowling Club, who brought home two Irish Championship titles

🥇 2026 Irish Pairs Champions. Aaron Patterson & Matthew Crawford.
🥇 2026 Irish Fours Champions. Rodney McCutcheon, Thomas Cannavan, Robert Hastings & skip Matthew Hastings.

We are incredibly proud of both championship winning teams and everyone involved in their success. A fantastic achievement and a day they will never forget.

A huge well done also to our Irish Triples Runners-up and Irish U25 Pairs Runners-up. While it wasn’t to be on this occasion, reaching an Irish Final is a tremendous achievement, and you represented the NIBA with great pride throughout the competition. 👏

Two Irish Champions and two fantastic runners-up — what a day for our Association!

Congratulations to all our players who represented the NIBA today. We are immensely proud of you all! 💙🤍💚

Many thanks to Donaghadee Bowling Club and IBA President Tommy Cheevers for hosting the Championships and hospitality.
