A beautiful day in Downton, perfect for a game of bowls. Because we’ve looked after the green during the monsoon season, it is now in good condition & although it is still slow, it played pretty well.
Rink 4 – Steve, Paul & Geoff – won 15-12. A very good game between two well matches teams. We won 10 ends & put together a good run from end 4, winning 4 & in a row, to lead 8-3 after 7 ends. The Mallards took the lead 9-10 on end 12 after a 3, but we came straight back with a 3 of our own & then won 3 of the last 4 ends with singles, to hold on to win 15-12. Well done, a very good team effort.
Rink 1 – Tony, John & Ivan – won 16-12. We won the first 3 ends to lead 4-0 & never looked back. A 3 on end 10 put us 10-4 up & another 3 on end 14 put us 15-7 up. The Mallards finished well with a 3 on the last end, to reduce the winning margin to 4 shots, 16-12. We also won 10 ends. A good result, well done boys.
The overall match score was Bustards 31 v 24 Mallards. Bustards 6 pts, Mallards 0 pts. This result keeps us 6th/10, now comfortably away from the relegation zone.
Next week we are at away to West Moors Bees, who are one place below us.
