Singles day today. The first match on BBC2 should be a good one with Sam Tolchard v Wayne Wilgress. Sam has won almost ( if not every) indoors and outdoors national singles over the last few years. Dave P beat him in the Open Singles Quarter final the other week which was a great feat.
The Ladies semi finals should both be close hard fought matches. The evening session includes Beth Riva who has appeared in these championships for the first time this year. I understand she had a really good game in the Mixed Pairs final with Jason Banks defeating Paul Foster & Katherine Rednall yesterday.

Today’s schedule includes the Mixed Pairs Final between Paul Foster & Katherine Rednall and Beth Riva & Jason Banks at 14:30 on BBC2.

However play starts at 10:00 with Men’s Singles Wayne Wilgress v David Gourlay kicking off the proceedings  Two very different characters on the green

Enjoy!

Today you have a choice – to watch on YouTube again or on BBC iPlayer and live coverage on BBC2 at 1:30. Enjoy!

Nearly through the terrestrial television coverage on BBC2. Just one more day to wait.
However for those of you who have he wherewithal, live streaming plus catch up is available on the Ambassador Cruises World Bowls YouTube channel.

Another mixed friendly , this time against our friends from London Welsh. (Hope Luigi is in good voice to serenade us after the meal!)

Good luck to everyone playing.
match starts at 2:00 for those wishing to come in from the cold for an hour or so to have a drink and watch.

Our Middlesex League match v Century and although it was 2-2 all in rinks, unfortunately we didn’t score more points overall so went down by 2-6 (4 points for overall win)

Top rink was Barry, Bob, Kevin & Teresa closely followed by Peter J, Jacqui, Dawn & Peter T who went into the final end 23-23 and managed to score 2!

Tomorrow morning, the Peter’s take on two of the Century chaps in the National Pairs at 10:00  Good luck!

Next Saturday we play Glebelands. Two rinks home, two away starting at 10:00

I gather from a couple of you last night that yesterday’s matches were better. Maybe it’s because players have settled into the rink now.
Today’s play includes mixed pairs and I believe it’s Lucy Smith’s first appearance.
Lucy’s family have been heavily involved in the Open Singles Circuit before passing the organisation over to EIBA. Lucy and her sister won both the EIBA National Pairs as well as the Bowls England National Pairs in the same year. Quite an achievement!

Thanks to David H for waving his magic wand and producing the latest league tables.

Didn’t see any games yesterday!

Here’s today’s schedule

Some great matches today

The Doubler/Salmon pair put out Nick Brett & Greg Harlow and then another pair yesterday to put themselves into the semi final  They played brilliantly on Sunday , It’s 2-bowl pairs so players have to concentrate very hard and make every bowl count!
