Another lovely day for bowls on our vastly improved green, which is playing really well. Ringwood are trying to give lots of different people a game this season & credit to them for doing so, as this policy is clearly effecting the strength of their team.
Rink 1 – Tony, Paul & Geoff who won 23-9. Having lost the first end, the boys woke up & led 5-4 after 7 ends. A run of 6 ends in a row which included a 5, a 4, 2×3’s & a 1, increased the lead to 22-4 after 13 ends. A quiet finish saw us win 10 ends in total & the match 23-9. A very good display from our A-Team.
Rink 2 – Dibbie, Ann & Ivan who won 22-5. A 3 on the first end set the tone, as we then won 12 of the remaining ends, picked up 1’s & 2’s with a 4 thrown in. Our visitors won 5 ends, taking 1 shot each time. An excellent performance, well played.
Match score Downton 45 v 14 Ringwood. Downton 6 points, Ringwood 0 points. We are now in the top half of the table & have a +4 shot difference.
Next week we are off to Fordingbridge to play the flyers, who are top of the league!
