El Rancho Bowls Club Roundup
El Rancho Bowls Club Roundup

Monday found the Pintos playing host to La Marina Explorers, always my favourite club to play. With a heavy dew to start the conditions changed throughout the match. But we had a splendid morning’s bowls with all rinks being close until the end. The Pintos ended taking one rink with one drawn and losing the overall shots by just 6. Kevin Henry, Malc Sykes and Diane Yates 14-16. Chris Ziepe, Rob Clark and John Ziepe 22-16. Lesley Day, Sheila Cox and Mike Cox 15-15. David Baker, Ron Greenstreet and Judy Foley 12-15. Barbara Jones, Geoff Jones and Henry Ryder 14-21.

On Wednesday the winter league team entertained San Miguel and despite being a player short in the third rink, won the other two rinks. A good result. Frances Johnston, Bill Johnston, Diane Yates and Keith Longshaw 18-16. Lesley Day, Judy Foley, Bob Day and Henry Ryder 20-9. Sheila Cox, Rob Clark and Ron Greenstreet 6.75-21 (adjusted for a player short).

On Thursday the Mustangs played their re-arranged match at Emerald Isle against the Claymores, who took full advantage of the home mat in giving away just one point for a drawn rink.

On Friday the Mustangs have a Bye. Bowlers of all levels are welcome at El Rancho, for further membership information contact Sheila Cox at micksheilacox@gmail.com
