I'm
keeping my little man for 2023.
As
with any club we need new bowlers to keep the club going so if anyone has
someone who would like to try, get them to give a committee member a call.
Also if reading this but don't know who to call then please ring our
secretary, His numbers above, you will be most welcome.
Just
added my Christmas Quiz
Finals
Day 2023
Finals
day took place on Saturday 02nd Sept and the results are on the right of
the page. Now I compile these but as i was playing or marking some of
the time , its difficult for me to write anything of the games i didn't
take part in so anyone wish to update me on how the games went or
other such material, then please email me and i will update.
As
for the day itself , well it started off quite cool and cloudy but in
the afternoon someone turned the heat up and the sun shone and made for
a very warm day. A BIG thanks to Paul, aided by Lynne who again
organised the day brilliantly , Also thanks to those who helped by
setting up and taking things down
Note
I have now managed to get some pictures of Finals Day on the website
Well
done one and all
With
the last game postponed it meant that we finished the season having
played 30 games , winning 18 and only losing 12. According to my
records , this is the first time since 2015 (and i dont know before tehn)
that we have won more than we have lost! My records only go back to 2016
so not sure before that. So a very good season !!!!!
Last
Game of season 20/09/23
With
the prospect of heavy rain and winds i discussed with the 3 horseshoes
captain the evening before and we decided we wouldn't play, at 1200 with
no Rain i thought whoops i have got this wrong but by 1215 it started to
rain and has done since so hopefully the right decision.
Game
v Fairfield 16/09/23
.
Unfortunately the day did not go well for
NHBC as we lost this match with an overall score of 37-56. We were
beaten
comfortably on three out of four rinks
with the NHBC teams struggling to come to terms with a Fairfield Green
that
most agreed was "very quick."
Our one success was played out on Rink 1.
With the score standing 13-8 in Fairfields favour and with one end to
play. NHBC's team performed a mini miracle
managing to score six on the last end to come out the winners with a
score of 14-13! Well done. Report by Paul

Game
v Royston 07/09/23
On
the hottest day ever recorded in September we travelled to Royston with
Captain Lynne advising that we would probably play 14 ends because of
the heat. We were playing on 3 rinks as we could only turn out 9
players. But what players they were, 6 of the 9 could play as skip and
the other 3 were could easily play as number 2 so a strong team. At the
halfway stage (7 ends) we stopped for a well earned cuppa and some lovely
Swiss roll and biscuits in there clubhouse with the most welcome air
conditioning. I did compare to our clubhouse by saying our air condition
were holes in the roof. Anyway we were winning on all 3 rinks and the
Captains decided that we would play a further 5 ends and call it a day.

v Hitchin 04/09/23

the first game after finals day and it proved to be a bit of after the

Captain Jeff and there Captain decided on 14 ends instead of 18 and what
a good choice this was. I shall use Jeff's summing up of the game in

them both, I should add on my team how well Sue Douglas bowled ,

I
Love playing Buntingford as i make a day of it, Brunch at Baldock, Quick
30 min drive , unless you go the Pete Moss way , Coffee in the high
street and then on to the club where the 7 dwarfs are carved into the
bushes, Brilliant! Anyway onto the game , which was under the captaincy
of Mr Jeff, Buntinford had put down there protective mats as they had a
lot of important games coming up. Anyway after about 6 ends i stopped
trying to pick them up after bowling and they became part of the green.
Does anyone else think they need picking up after you bowl , probably
just me. Anyway we went on to win on 3 rinks with just the one defeat on
a lovely day, played in Captains Jeff words a very friendly manner.

Competitions
Update
The
competitions are going well with just a couple delayed due to player unavailability
but they are scheduled so no problems. Surprise results , Chin beat Andy
in the Tembey quite easily and bowled well. Also Derek beat Jeff in the
Tembey. Paul however looks favourite for this though and also for the
singles after he beat Jeff in a close game. Paul took an early lead but
Jeff fought back but Paul steadied himself to win. In the triples, the
games are slowly being played and my team are currently the only team
with a 100% record, but we have only played one ! John Atkinson's team
have played 3 , winning2 and drawing the other. But it looks like any
team can beat anyone so will see how it goes. The Pairs are progressing
as well with I think the favourites Mike and Brian for this. The over
75's progressing well and I will make Robin my favourite for this as he
seems to be bowling well this year. Well just a quick round up and
sorry if I have made people favourites and put the curse on them !

Match
v Letchworth 12/07/23
We
entertained our local friends from Letchworth today on a bit of an
overcast day but just about right to play bowls. We had won our last 6
games so would the good form continue. Robins team , with Lynne and
Simon were always in control of this match. My team were in an up and
down game but managed to end up winning in a very close game.
In
the final game , again another very close encounter saw Paul's
team 19-19 draw. The only downside was a hefty shower that
suspended play for 10 minutes in the second half but a good and
enjoyable game

What
can you say about this game, it had everything. Lets start with Paul's
Team , they got off to a brilliant start and were 8-0 up only not to
score another point in the remaining ends. My team were also 8-0 up
after 5 ends but continued there good form or should i say had loads of
luck. There skip was quite a good bowler but whenever he hit the jack it
went to our team but if we hit it it went to us, just our lucky day. Jeff's
team were 6-0 down after 5 ends but battled on and with Simon playing
his first game for a year went on to win. Welcome back Simon.

Match
v Shepalbury 06/07/23
Confusion
reigned in this match when Shepalbury turned up with 12 players for a
1430 start. The only trouble was they had phoned us to say they could
only get 9 players so we had reduced our team to 9 players. Anyway they
decided that they would play 3 rinks and then make a couple of subs
after 9 ends At the halfway stage we were losing overall by 2
shots , we were winning on two rinks but my team were getting hammered
3-13. We were losing at whitethorn at half time so i was hoping for a
better 2nd half. John Wiggs back was causing him a problem so Len
stepped in after doing the teas. My teams form continued , unfortunately
still bad and we found ourselves 20-4 down after 12 ends, However
we had a bit of a fight back and scored 11 in our last 4 ends. Brian and
his team were having an up and down time. 14-14 after 15 ends, winning
by 3 on the last end before being caught at the final hurdle for a draw
in a very close game. Jeff's team winning 7-5 at half time continued to
dominate and won 22-9. This result means we have won our last 5 matches.

A
nice afternoon for bowling , away to Whitethorn , where i had my first
bowls match about 35 years ago. I obviously didn't carry on otherwise i
would be a better bowler. But at least i thought i would be the only one
who had played on the green that long ago. How wrong i was as my fellow
skip had been a member for 50 odd years and you could tell as he was a
better bowler than me. We won on two rinks and lost on two but our wins
were bigger than there's so we recorded another victory under Lynne's
captaincy. The other good news was we won the 1st 3 raffle prizes!

Match
v Buntingford 26/06/23
Well
lets start with the email i sent to all of the players to remind them of
the game. On the original email I put the 38th July , until I was
corrected by Ann who advised me that it was the 28th. Doh ! so sent another
with the 28th on it. Ann then reminded me that it was June and not July
and by then i hoped everyone would realise !
Anyway
onto the game and dare i say this was the PERFECT afternoon. The weather
was cloudy but warm and no Sun to blind you and off we went.
The
scores were going really well at the halfway stage as we were winning on
two rinks, losing on two but Paul's team were winning 23-1 so giving us
a lead of 45-23, now surely even we me as captain, we couldn't blow that
lead !
Anyway
tea came, but not your normal tea, It was Paul's Birthday and Lynne had
arranged a Birthday cake, a Card and some other munchies. So after
singing happy birthday to him we tucked into a lovely bit of cake. Now
this is the bit I don't believe. WE are not going to mention his age but
this was the 52nd time he had celebrated being 21. I don't believe he is
that age but birthday cakes with 73 on don't lie!
Back
to the game, it was bit of role reversal in the second half. Paul's team
who only lost 1 end in the front 9 only won 2 ends in the back 9. Lynne's
team who were losing 4-8 at the halfway stage romped home in the back 9
losing only 3 end. My team which were losing 7-9 at halftime only lost 1
end on the last 9 ends with Steve Field making his debut as a NHBC
bowler and he did ok. The only team who consistently played well were
Robins who were leading 12-5 and went onto win easily.
So
as i say a Perfect day, Buntingford were very friendly, we won on all 4
rinks, the weather was just right and we helped Paul to celebrate his
birthday.
Teams
were :-
Steve,
Gill and Andy Won 24-11

finished on the winning side so was very happy with his first social
evening. Anyway the main purpose of the evening was to raise money for

years he's been bowling, it was the first time he had won one.
Anyway
onto the bowls and after 4 ends we were 1 shot up on the 4 rinks but
sadly we couldn't carry on in that form. At the halftime interval we
were trailing by 7 shots and stopped for a much needed cuppa. However
this didn't spur us on , Jeff's team made a bit of a recovery. Robins

v Three Horseshoes 25/05/23
My
first game as Captain this year so hopefully we could continue our
winning Streak. Having selected the teams the next big decision was to
wear a jumper or not. I elected to wear one, the weather was a bit
cloudy with a bit of a wind so i felt justified.
Anyway
after the first end we were winning on 2 and losing on 2 so all to play
for. My team then conceded a 5 but gained a 4 next end so it was quite
tight but a high scoring game. However conceding a 3 on the 9th end
meant that we would go in losing by 5 shots. Lynne team seemed to be
doing ok winning most ends and at the half way stage were 10-4 up.
Now
the other two games had some interesting scores. Paul's team scored a 7
on the 4th end to put them 9-1 up so victory was only going to be to Paul's
team. However 6 ends later at Tea Paul's team was losing 11-9. So they
were stuck on 9 for 6 ends. The other game saw Jeff as captain on his
return from the USA. However it hadn't done his teams bowls any good as
they were losing 16-4 at tea. So Half Time and we were losing by 12
shots overall.
Half
time and it was time for biscuits and tea, kindly supplied by Rose and
Jan, hopefully this would get the teams going.
Lynne's
team continued there ways and finished up winning 19-12. My team didn't
really get going after tea so we ended up losing 21-12. Jeff's team did
provide a fight back but still lost by 10 which left Paul's game. He
stayed on 9 for the next end but then his team got it together to come
out 17-15 winners in what was a very close game.

Gowls
Social Evening
We
Played a game of Golf on the green but instead of clubs the woods were
aimed at 12 holes (well not actually holes ,Brian wouldn't let me dig
the green Up! so we aimed at 12 pins, Like golf some long, some short.
eight teams of two took Part and 1 point awarded for being within 1
metre, Two teams scored 34 point each , so like Golf the winners were
decide by the last three pins score. This meant that Peter and Rae beat
Robin and Sylvia. Following this we were inside for a cuppa and a share
out of the food that people brought along. A raffle was held and it must
be my raffle year as i again won three prizes again. Hopefully all
agreed it was a good night and enjoyed the Gowls.

However
we all carried on and as half time approached we were coming into it a bit
more. After 10 ends we stopped for tea. My team were losing by two, Paul's
team lagging by six points but Johns team winning by ten so we were
winning overall by two. Following a nice Cuppa , and Ann won the football
card , we proceeded back onto the green. Our Game was nip and tuck
with us winning and then the opposition winning and it ended up
17-17. Paul's team performed remarkably well and recovered to win by two
and Johns team just carried on and won by 11. So it finished as a 13 point
win from our first game of the season so well done all.
