Jamie Chestney and Neil McKee
Jamie Chestney of Ilminster Bowling Club, Devon and Neil McKee of Kingsthorpe Bowling Club, Northampton who both received their 50th caps at the 2024 BIIBC International Series. Interesting EIBA fact - In the history of EIBA there have only been 11 other players to reach their 50th cap. Jamie and Neil are the 12 & 13th. They both received an engraved glass as a memento together with a card which had some early years photos.
