We also had two games in the Open Ladies Singles as well as social bowls, something for everyone!
Ladies first: Robyn Bishop had a win over newcomer Michelle Wood in a close game 25/22.
Congratulations to Robyn but also to Michelle who gave the more experienced Robyn a run for her money! Thanks to Suzanne Weir for marking the match.
The second game, also a hard fought one between Cheryl Goodhew and Gloria Newby resulting in a win to Cheryl after 31 ends, what a marathon effort! Thanks to Ann Sleep who was the marker for the match.
Now for the big one, the game that bought the crowd!
The final of the Open Mens Pairs which resulted in a win to Team Rowdy but not before some nail biting moments!
The early stages had Team Maurie wiping the floor with Team Rowdy in fact on end 7 the score was 11/0 to Team Maurie!
Team Rowdy appeared not to have an answer to Maurie and Keith’s run of good shots!
However never discount a pair of tough nuts like Rowdy and Ian, they fought back slowly with everything they had!
A few twos, a four, a three and a one saw them take the lead 14/13 on end 14, when it was then their turn to surge ahead!
Team Maurie was stuck on 13 for 6 ends which sealed the fate of the match with Team Rowdy taking the win 30/15.
A large crowd enjoyed the spectacle of a great match played in the true spirit of the game of bowls.
Team Rowdy: Rowdy Taylor, Ian Goodhew
Team Maurie: Keith Sleep, Maurie Stranio
