San Miguel Bowls Club – week ending 2nd November 18 – By Gail Willshire
Monday’s results were all quite good this week. The Alsatians, away to Quesada Pearls, had to give up a rink, 2 shots and 10 points, due to illness. Despite this they still managed 4 points, 71 shots to 78. Pretty good under the circumstances. The best winners were Anita Brown, Ron Nairey and Eddie Cowan, 20:11.
The Dalmatians were also away to the El Rancho Pintos. The weather conditions weren’t great, but nevertheless our team came away with 6 points, just missing out on the shot difference, 86:90. The best win came from Bob Nesbitt, Dave Champion and Barbara Scotthern, 25:12. The Beagles, at home to the Quesada Diamonds that morning, had just one loss, by just 1 shot! – so, 10 points, 123:52. The rink of the day went to Margaret Patterson, Johnny Raby and Stuart Denholm 30:10.
However, the Pointers had the best result that afternoon, at home to El Rancho’s Paliminos. Winning across the board, 138 shots to 53, the best win came from James Cutting, Brian Allen and Lynn Greenland 38:5.
Wednesday saw our Winter League team away to San Luis. They came away with 4 points after a difficult morning, 69 shots to 96, but were very unfortunate not to finish with a draw. This was not a disaster and has kept the team near the top of the table. The best rink that day was Brian Miller, Margaret Patterson, David Johnson and Steve Cantley, 16:12.
On Friday the Boxers welcomed the Mazarron Miners to SMBC and had a great morning to win 10:2, 97 shots to 80. The top dogs were Barry Jones, Bob Graham and Frank Scotthern, winning 26:17. The Bulldogs, meanwhile had a rougher time at San Luis gaining 4 points, 85:91. The trio of Sandy Hannan, Tom Dalgleish and Dave Greenland was the pick of the litter, 28 points to 11.
