HORADADA BOWLS CLUB BY IRENE GRAHAM
Only one match to report on this week as we are now at the end of the winter season. Win or lose the weather has been really kind to the Bowlers this winter with very few bad days. The Falcons were at home to Emerald Isle Moonrakers and we were all very well aware that we had to produce the goods. All but one of the rinks had really close results with the lead going back and forth a few times. An exciting morning with the Falcons coming out on top. We won on 3 rinks lost on 2 and it’s thanks to one of our rinks that secured us the overall shots. Our winning rinks were:
Irene Graham, Janet Jukes and Barry Evans 13 – 9
Wayne Jackson, Les Davies and Mick Kirby 23 – 8
Tracey Paffett, Ken Barber and Roy Thomson 17 – 14
The final score being 83 shot for to 66 against giving us 8 points to 4 against.
Very well played to all of our team, we each played our part in helping the Falcons to move up a place to remain in division ‘B’. We are equal in points to Quesada Rubies, but we just managed to pip them at the post on shots.
The Royals with their last match result also moved 2 places up the table to finish in 7th place, only 1 point behind 6th. We are a small membership club and to remain in the ‘B’ division for both the leagues is an excellent result for us.
Again very well played to everyone who has played throughout the winter season and a special thanks goes to our Team Captain Peter Davis and Vice Captain Ron Odell for their efforts in putting a team together. We know it is not an easy task.
Have a restful 2 weeks break Team Horadada and we will start all over again for the summer leagues. Keep em’ bowls a rollin’.
