From David Hale: The match between Cambridge Park and Ember made for a very pleasant afternoon of bowls for both sides. Ember is an outdoor club with many of its members only playing outdoors, so the scoreline reflected that. It was a 101 – 41 win for Cambridge Park with three rinks out of four …

Well, I don’t think you’ll have seen as good a Ladies Final as the one yesterday.  An amazing display of drawing by both girls but especially Julie Forrest in that first set.  Katherine did well with the change of mat length in the second set and that made all the difference to her coming back …

Mixed matches for the Ladies yesterday.  I didn’t see all of them.  Ceri-Ann and Giulia didn’t seem to be having their best game, whereas Nicole had a storming win over Ailsa.
