Not bad after 5 years since the last bowl!

It would be great to have some supporters at both Hounslow and Cambridge Park this morning. Pop in after your morning walk!  The bar will be open around 11:15.

Good luck to everyone playing!

Apologies. Miscommunication on the admin front and the Ladygate friendly will be next February.

 

If you signed up, please come down anyway and we’ll have a mixed friendly drive instead!

Whites not required

 

 

With several last minute changes I.e. at 2:00 pm, the game got under way with a mixture of men with ladies.
Teresa’s triple had a great start and, although Gym’s team made up a great deal of ground , they couldn’t catch them up.
On Dawn’s triples. It was a game of two halves as Kevin, Corale & Peter J suddenly found their line and weight on rink 2 and had a very convincing win.
Bob, freshly back from his holidays, put up a full length jack which he promptly ditched with his first bowl!  Steve knew his luck was in!  Lucy’s four kept on battling but needing a 6 on the final end became an impossible task.
Ann B and Andy’s triples took on the very swingy rink 1. Andy got into his stride in the second half and, from what could see, kept creeping in for shot with some cracking bowls!

Good to see new members Wills, Tony & Dan playing and contributing to their various team’s successes. Thanks to Corale and Bernie W coming in at the last minute. We hope the others who were unwell yesterday feel better soon and the red line shows alongside the C rather than the T soon.

With a fantastic turnout of 28 on Saturday afternoon as well as the regular midweek morning roll ups and the odd evening roll ups, the indoor season is definitely under way!

There is still time to join a league team so let David Hale know if you’re looking to join in.  Leagues are on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday evenings, Thursday afternoons and the possibility of a Tuesday afternoon depending on numbers

There are sign up sheets for roll ups, mixed friendlies and National team comps up on the noticeboard , so sign up if you’re available.

If you’re fairly new to bowls, still put your name up as it’s a great way of learning more about the game – how and why particular shots are chosen and the outcomes. Some will give ‘oh wow’ and others will give ‘oo-ouch’ results!  It’s also a great way of meeting and playing in a team with other club members .

This afternoon, it’s the first mixed friendly of the season away against King George Field. Good luck to Kevin and his team!
