Garden Cleanup

About a dozen hardy souls turned out to lay the ditch mats etc on a damp, but mostly dry morning. At the end it looked ready to go so thanks for your help.

 

Andys Quiz of Quiz's 

 

Our first social took place on the 30th April , 6 teams of four competed for the prize of £25. A very Close affair with Jeff Batty's team just coming out on top by just 1 point.

The rounds consisted of TV game shows and I think it went down well apart from the Music round, which i admit i got horribly wrong and made too difficult. Sorry about that. In the interval we were served Hot Dogs followed by Ice cream and strawberries , so thanks to Mrs D and helpers Lynne and Tricia, Instead of a raffle we did a 50/50 draw which saw Jeff Batty;s team win £34. so a good night for that table and thanks to Linda for selling the tickets.

 

Game v Holwell 1st May

Unfortunately Holwell couldn't raise a side so the game was postponed.

 

Game v Riverain May 2nd

 

After heavy overnight rain i half expected a call saying the game was off, but we didn't get,  so off we trundled to Riverain. As expected after the heavy rain the ground was well wet, and it was probably the wettest i have played on , making it difficult to reach the jacks for the not so strong players. In fact on my green the only legitimate jack was bowled on the 18th end ! but luckily the captains agreed on placing just after the minimum distance. By This time the Sun had come out and made for a pleasant afternoon with good company from the Riverain team. We trailed and at half time we were 43-11 down but a nice cup of tea and biscuits would obviously see us improve. It didn't and we eventually lost by 42 so a slight improvement.

Due to the number of teams entering this year , the triples only had one league so it was decided the winner of the Competition would be the team with the most points having played all of there games.

Fourth were Andy Denniss, Lynne Brown and Malcolm Summerville. Fifth were Paul Riseborough, Tricia Jeffreys and Rae Glenn, whilst the wooden spoon went to Robin Edmett, Gill Crane and Sue Douglas finishing with 2 points. So Big Congratulations to Brian's team.

PAIRS 

This game was between Myself and Peter Moss v Brian Hutchings and Mike Jeffreys.  A very close first 9 ends saw the score fairly even but a five on one end to Andy and Pete saw them take the lead and managed to hold on to the end to win 21-11.

Singles

I marked this game and after an even start John Atkinson took the lead from out chairman Brian Hutchings and despite his best efforts  Brian was unable to mount a recovery and John wnet on to win 23-7

TEMBEY.

This years finalists were Paul Riseborough and Chin Tory. Chin again continued her fine form that she has been in all year and gave Paul a tough game that but his experience managed to get a win 16-10.

HAROLD HARDY 

The first set won by myself 8-3 and the second set went to a decisive end. Robin was bowling very well and when i put in a good wood, he seemed to be able to find a better one, Anyway at 6-6 in the second set i managed to get a lucky couple in to win 8-6 but a very good game of high quality. 

OVER 75's 

2WOOD PAIRS

Finalists Rose Mitchell and Linda Clark v Steve Field and Jeff Tebbutt

The first to ten in the 2 wood Pairs and Steve Field in his first year with the club came out successful with Jeff winning 10-5. To celebrate his win Steve went on a four week cruise the next day, What will he do if he wins the singles ?

2WOOD SINGLES

It looks like this was a good game with Simon Tory just edging out Gill Crane 7-4  

WHITWORTH TROPHY

This game was played on Monday 11th Sept at 1430 due to fixture congestion on Finals Day. On a pleasant day Andy Denniss and John Atkinson fought it out for the Whitworth Trophy which is the winner of this years singles (John) v last years singles Winner (me).  Now after two ends it was 1-1 and then i took a 4 so a commanding lead, However John took a 3 on the next end and never looked back really as he sailed into a commanding lead and finished up winning 21-8. Normally i would say John had all the Luck but he didn't, he just bowled a lot better than i did so no complaints from me. Congratulations John.
