18 SEPTEMBER

A beautifully warm Spring day saw 28 players face the starter for the usual Wednesday Nominated Triples competition, with all bowlers competing on the synthetic green whilst the Club Championship finalists were playing on the grass.

The morning match was decided by the lowest winning score and with a score of 12 the Pairs team of Graeme Watkins and Dave Ransome were successful.

The afternoon game was decided by the highest winning margin and the winners were Graham Uff, Col Fossey and Denis Wilberforce with a margin of 16

The Final of the Club Championship Triples was played today on the grass green which was running very nicely for the players.

After 23 ends the scores were tied at 17 all with two ends to play.

It is always nice to see a closely fought final, but the team of Denis Ashbridge, Mick Sheridan and Geoffrey Muggleton managed to get over the line 20-17 against the side of Col Amos, Mark Nightingale, and Mark Hair.

The Ashbridge side have been close to winning this event on several occasions and at last they have added this Championship event to their Cv’s.

Congratulations to them and to all those who participated.

22 September

The great weather saw 28 players taking part in Sunday bowls.

A contingent of 12 Sunday bowlers are also paying a visit to the Denman Bowling Club fulfilling a reciprocal arrangement.

Those that went last year had a great time.

In other news.

Nominations are being called for next year’s Pennant season and all full bowling members of the Club are invited to participate.

More nominations for the Club Minor Pairs are urgently needed to make this event more viable.

Minor Pairs Nominations close on the 27 Sep with Round 1 commencing on the 12 Oct.
