In each edition of The PACK, we will be bringing you a Superstar – a local player who excels in their sport. This edition’s Superstar is Southend Bowls Club’s Mark Cohen, who recently ran for President of England, and who this year made his England Bowls team debut. Mark joined Southend bowls club 30 years ago after his years of cricketing came to an end. As well as fulfilling his role as President of Southend Bowls Club, Mark has also been nominated to be the President of England. Mark first played for the English Presidents team after being invited by the E.I.B.A (The English Indoor Bowling Association) last October. Playing first at Thanet and then at Ipswich, Mark described how seeing the rose on his shirt made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end and his hands shake!
