LA MARINA REPORT by Barry Latham
The Explorers discovered where Vistabella Drivers played but unfortunately didn’t find the green to their liking and lost 12-2. Mike Stone, Arthur Cronk and Barbara Forshaw did manage the green well enough to win their game by 9 shots.
All the other rinks had fairly close games so well done. Certainly a very unusual match took place on Monday in the Discovery League when the Pathfinders were supposed to play Country Bowls in the morning or was it in the afternoon? The Pathfinders only played with 4 rinks and lost 12-2. Our saving grace was John Rae, Martin Butler and Jean Tregoing winning 21-19. The weather played a big part in the Winter League match. At 10.00 am and the green was flooded. Some brave fellows fought the rain and did a Moses by parting the waters and soon the rain had stopped and the waters cleared.
La Marina excelled themselves and had a good result against a strong San Luis team. We won three rinks to two but SL got the overall shots. Shirley Hadaway, Dave Taylor, Margaret Sadler and Janet Parsons won so did Barry and Wendy Latham, Peter Parsons and Kathy Manning. Guess who the other one was? Yes, Barry Sadler with his brilliant partners, John Rae, Carol Smith and Mo Taylor. Berleen had a close game just losing by 4 shots. The Sharks took on the Vistabella Lanzdores winning 10-4. Dave Hadaway, Tom Spencer and Hilary Cronk won so did Dave Lewis, Jim Manning and Margaret McLaughlin.
Not to be out done Roy Hart, Peter Parsons and Andy Bartlett also came out ahead while Alan Castle, Phil Pape and Janet Parsons had the highest winning rink 29-8.Oh dear!! Seagulls went to La Manga and had the wings well and truly clipped. Lost on every rink.
Unfortunately the ladies in particular found the grass very heavy and some of the men found the same. I was brilliant, of course!!!! The Dolphins came up against La Siesta Blues and came away feeling very blue losing 11-3. John Withers gave us two points with Mike Smith and Shirley Withers giving a helping hand. The other point was from Cliff Rawlinson, Angela Butler and Jeff Halfhide.
EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB.
Monday found The Pintos playing host to The Titans from Emerald Isle, a team keen to take some points home with them. But the Pintos played well against a strong team and took 4 rinks and the overall shots.
Meanwhile The Broncos were away to La Siesta Pioneers, which can be a little tricky, but we are learning and gathering strength with every match and it is just a game and fun. However we came away without a point, but shouldn’t read too much into that, sometimes you are just playing a stronger team.
Friday found The Raiders playing at Vistabella against The Conquistadores and although they came away without a point, they played well and were up against a tough team. Two of the rinks were close and our bowlers are gaining experience and improving their skills with every outing. Fred Dunstone, Tricia Elsam and Shirley Edwards 12-21. Rob Clark, Keith Longshaw and Gary Newson 9-23. Pam Harris, Diane Yates and Brian Harris 12-19. Bob Easthope, Graham Day and Mick Ager 14-18. Gill Bartlett, Gary Dunstone and Malc Elmore 4-32. Ngaio Baldwin, Peter Baldwin and Terry Buswell 15-19.
In the afternoon The Mustangs were at Emerald Isle against The Claymores and came away with 2 rinks and some of the others could have gone either way, it was a good match and taking 2 rinks away from home is a fair result any day. Judy Foley, Keith Cunningham and Geoff Jones 11-19. Barbara Jones, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 7-31. Jim Taylor, Irene Thomson and Eddie Thomson 20-9. Ann Taylor, Malc Sykes and Jim Gracie 14-18. June Whitworth, Jane Hamill and Stew Hamill 16-10. Henry Ryder, Merv Armstrong and David Whitworth 11-15.
