EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB.
On Monday The Pintos were entertained by Emerald Isle Neptunes and a scorching morning it was too. We were up against a strong team, with a mat that can be a little tricky for the unwary, as many are. But the play was good and the atmosphere friendly as always. We came away with just the one rink, though that is no reflection on the teams play.
In the afternoon The Broncos travelled to Vistabella to play their Eagles, an away fixture is always tough and is made more difficult by very good opponents. They were certainly not shamed in coming away with the one rink, several being close.
Friday morning found The Raiders playing host to Montemar Toreadores and a splendid morning it was, great weather and even better company. All played well with The Raiders taking 4 rinks and the overall shots, with one rink only losing by just the one shot, a really good result all round. Edward Elsam, Tricia Elsam and Shirley Edwards 15-16. Peter Blackburn, Malc Elmore and Keith Longshaw 32-7. Pam Harris, Brian Yates and Brian Harris 18-13. Ngaio Baldwin, Terry Buswell and Gary Newson 11-36. Iain MacMaster, Dave Haynes and Rob Clark 19-14. Bob Easthope, Graham Day and Richard Needham 20-11.
Friday afternoon brought a visit from La Marina of The Dolphins, who are always a pleasure to play, regardless of the bowls. Although many of the results belied the nearness of the matches, The Mustangs took all the rinks and hence the overall shots. But the home mat is always an advantage, particularly when we have changing temperature and cloud cover. Judy Foley, Keith Cunningham and Geoff Jones 26-11. Barbara Jones, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 29-18. Jim Taylor, Irene Thomson and Eddie Thomson 26-9. Ann Taylor, Malc Sykes and Jim Gracie 19-12. Maxine Wright, David Whitworth and Rod Wright 36-12. Henry Ryder, Jan Bright and Richard Lee 38-9.

LA MARINA BOWLS REPORT 04.11.2016 BY BARRY LATHAM
On Saturday we had the second leg of the Friendship Shield against Monte Mar. They won the first leg and we won the second which gave us an overall win by 13 shots. Well done us. We had a lovely visit on Sunday from a Mojacar touring team with the Club winning overall and a lovely meal provided by Louisa and her team with many friendships forming. A very good morning for all involved with the right result provided by a friendly LMBC team playing in the spirit of bowls.
In the Enterprise League the Explorers jumped up into third place after beating San Luis Trekkers 14 – 0. Well done to all rinks.
Pathfinders had a great game versus Emerald Isle Titans winning 8 – 6. Winter League saw us still struggling but we did get one point extra this week as we only lost 9 – 3 to Emerald Isle. The Berleen team did well and won but only just and the winning skip was once again, Barry Sadler. (Still on his run.)
At the lovely meal afterwards the engagement of Ann-Marie Stevenson to Drew Gerrard was announced.
Thursday saw the prestigious Premier 20 played. Unfortunately all 4 rinks lost over at Quesada but it was much closer at home, winning 3 of the 4 and the losing rink lost by one shot. So we wish Quesada the best of luck in the next round.
The Dolphins swam over to El Rancho only to find the Mustangs in mighty form and sank beneath the waves with all rinks losing.
The Seagulls for once didn’t fare that well away at Emerald Isle where Claymores thrust and cut them to pieces with an 11 – 3 score line. BUT the Sharks came on song and easily beat a Mazarron side by 12 – 2.
