FORMER national president and international Freda Guy will be remembered whenever the Hampshire Women's Indoor BA play their male counterparts.
Her husband Gwyn has donated a memorial trophy that will go to the winners of the annual friendly between the two county indoor associations. Gwyn is indoor secretary of Atherley where Freda was also a member until her death in March of last year.
Freda was an instigator of the fixture and current Hampshire WIBA president Carole Lloyd paid a glowing tribute to her contribution to bowls not only as an administrator - Freda was national treasurer from 1981-96 - but as a player too when the sides met in this season's encounter at Atherley.
The men triumphed 147-109 and afterwards the Guy's son, Geoffrey, presented the trophy, a glass bowl mounted on a wooden plinth, to Alan Doughty, senior vice-president of the county in the absence of president David Spence who left early as he was nursing a damaged hip.
