Dave had a comfortable win this morning but a difficult match this afternoon (due to gusty winds playing mischief with bowls on a tricky rink, he went down by 5 shots. It was nip and tuck all the way u til the last couple of ends when Dave just missed the line and his opponent didn’t. C’est la vie.
Still Dave gets another chance on Tuesday morning in the Senior Pairs with partner Attilio from Uxbridge.
Maybe the wind will have died down by then.

Dave won his first round 21-13 and is heading off to E green this morning. No live streaming from E green but you can keep updated on scores for Dave and all the other competitions on bowlsenglandcomps.com

I don’t think you’re painting for the National Gallery or emulating Banksy but probably more along the lines of walls !

See Tony O’Brien for more details.

Well, we may not be top of the league, but we have some good news with three semi-finals!

Pairs: Steve G & Peter J play next Monday at West Ealing v Mid Surrey

Triples: Norman, Peter T & Dawn play North Sheen at Ashford on Thursday 22nd

3-2-1:  Peter J (Singles); Elaine & Paul (Pairs); and Steve G, Andy H & Dawn play North Sheen on Wednesday 14th at Putney Town at 5:30. Tricia is also in the Triples squad but isn’t available tomorrow.

 

Update on 3-2-1  Firstly, Peter Judge was 3-18 down in the singles and clawed his way back to 17-18 when his opponent found his earlier form and Peter lost by 18-21   His opponent had definitely broken out in  sweat!

In the pairs, Paul & Elaine got to a good start in the first couple ends, then North Sheen pulled their socks up and took control of the game  I spotted plenty of chalk on Elaine’s bowls so she and Paul were unlucky to only reach 8 before CP conceded  

I’d like to say the Triples got off to a good start too. We weren’t playing rubbish in any way.  On one end we were holding six seconds within 15” of the jack but we just could not turn the game our way for us to score shots.  We gracefully conceded after 14 ends  and we wish North Sheen good luck in the Final on 1st September  

Good luck to all. Finals are on 1st September at Putney Town so fingers crossed we all get through!
