2021 August
Tribble Triples Competition - 1st August 2021
Braintree Bowling Club held its annual Tribble Triples Competition named after 3 brothers and prominent businessmen in the town during the Inter War years. Harry Tribble (grocer), Dick Tribble (Saddle maker) and Percy Tribble (butcher) were all members of the Club which won the Essex County Shield Competition in 1933. They donated the trophies to be played for on an annual basis. A fun day was enjoyed by all participants
The significant aspect being that Evie Mills is 12 years of age and Tom Rackley is 94 years of age. Proving that this is a sport for all ages and abilities. Tom would have been 7 when the Tribble brothers won the County Shield in 1933.

The eventual winners on the day were:
