Thanks To Kevin for last Sunday’s match report..
Another win for Cambridge Park by 83 shots to 54 v London Civil Service. Everybody made it despite the heavy traffic.
We won 3 Rinks and drew 1 and our Top Rink was Jacqui Lund, Corale Canard, Roy Ebinezar and Peter Judge who won their rink 27-9.
Well done to everyone who played.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I’m here in the fog
Just looking for you
… and wishing you a safe day. Take a torch. That fog is very thick this morning!
Kevin K reported that Friday’s mixed triples v King George Field resulted in a very comfortable win for Cambridge Park with Kevin K, Chris Pusey & Gary Bartles taking top rink, yet Cliff, Tony O’B & Gym scoring a Hot Shot. Weyhey!
well done to everyone who played.
This afternoon we welcome London Civil Service for the second match of the season with us.
Good luck to the team!
Well, how about joining the Level 1 Coaching Course being run at Cambridge Park?! It’s great chance to learn more about your own bowling technique as well as passing on skills and ideas to newer bowlers. You will also learn about coaching a beginner, roles and responsibilities, safeguarding, lesson planning, warm ups/cool downs, delivery – jack and bowls, how to keep lessons fun and fresh! For more details, go to coachbowls.org or click on the link below the photo.
Flat Green – Level 1 – Cambridge Park – Middlesex | Coach Bowls
If you want to learn more from those who have done the course (and passed), ask Sarah Hall and Scott Cumine, who have been regularly coaching players since they qualified.
And that was shown by our opposition yesterday as Ladygate had to battle through the Brentford FC/Southampton FC traffic as well as the England/Scotland rugby traffic to get to Cambridge Park for our friendly match. 
In the end it was a win on all four rinks for the club, with Gym, Roy, Bob & Jacqui taking the top rink prize.
There were no less than two new members to the Wrong Bias Club by Ladygate players on rink 1 and Shaf re-joined the club from rink 4.
A confession from Dave Pitt yesterday – he said he did a wrong bias in his triples match v Peter T, Peter J & Laurence. Special award to Dave when he returns from tour in Devon!
Well done to Brentford on their win. They looked to be playing well as a team but to be fair I only saw the highlights. Commiserations to England but well done to Scotland
This afternoon we welcome Teddington for three triples in the first of three ties between our clubs. The fourth rink will be taken by Kevin K & Gym as they take on David Baxter & partner from Century in the Middlesex Pairs. Peter J & Dawn are going to try and wear David down as they play him and his mixed partner at Century this morning!
Good to see the rinks filling up during non- league and roll up times with various club and county competitions!
Check out the round closing dates and book early to avoid that last minute rush!

I believe we are getting fobs next week.
Just a reminder that if you want to enter the National Competitions ie Senior Singles, Senior Pairs, Mixed Pairs or Mixed Fours, then the closing date for entries is 1st March
Or rather, win the match.
Hotfoot from the Men’s O60’s Double Rink in Bromley, Hounslow pair Paul C & Colin H returned to take on Andy H & Will in the Middlesex Men’s Pairs at CP. When most of us arrived for the Tuesday night leagues, our chaps were 8-19 down. They crept up to 13-19 with a handful of ends to go. Some brilliant draws at the fonrt end, scuppered by Paul C as he came in with a selection of shots to change the head, then Andy drew in again and our boys were 2 shots behind with a couple of ends to go. Will put in three beauties and all was looking well for CP, but Paul brilliantly killed the end. Another end passed and our boys were ahead. Wow! Colin upped his game and the Hounslow Pair were holding match when Andy sneaked in with shot. ( What do you mean, were we concentrating on our league games? No, we weren’t donig that 100%!) The gap between the bowls to get Andy’s shot bowl out was just too narrow for Paul and Andy & Will took the game to a round of applause for all four players – but mainly our two!
It was a great comeback and was definitely worth not giving up when they were so far behind. Well done! Good luck in the next round.
