Summer Trips League, Hurricane Div. Monday 28th, SL Wellingtons were at home v Bonalba and had a great result; 10 points-2, 115 shots- 74.

We all had a surprise on Monday when we came off the green and found there was no power for hot drinks, hot food etc.; this became an even greater shock when we discovered the power cut was not just local but all across Spain and Portugal.
Suddenly our phones and bank cards were redundant, traffic lights & power tools on building sites weren’t working. At home – no Wi-Fi, no internet, no TV. Torches with batteries became important to continue reading a book as the daylight started to fade!! Fortunately most local areas were back to normal later in the evening or next day.
VCLeague: Wednesday 30th SL Falcons were at home to the San Miguel Sheriffs, unfortunately although there were some close fought matches, the Sheriffs took control, with Falcons finishing 3 points-9, 86 shots-103. Ladies singles – Jean Cooper stepped up to win 21-15, Pairs – Pauline Johnson & Bill Webb had a useful draw 18-18.
South Alicante 2 wood triples: Friday 2nd SL Cobras were away v Quesada on a rather windy morning, and the variable gusts made bowling quite a challenge for many of us. There were some close battles, but the Cobras finished 4 points-8, 70 shots-98. Winners: Lesley & Wayne Howlett, Jean Cooper 21-17, Sheila Cammack, Ngaio & Peter Baldwin 19-14.
SL Pythons had a good morning at home v Country Bowls Eagles, 10 points-2, 93 shots-69. Winners: Neil & Sandra Burrows, Scott Malden 17-10, Stuart Wilson, Carol & Gary Thorpe 29-17, Bob Bromley, June Jones, Dave Webb, 17-14, Bill Webb, Ralph Jones, Jim Gracie 15-10.
The Spanish National Singles championships are at Indalo BC from 5th – 11th. We wish our intrepid, travelling, trio of Barbara & Dave Louis and Dave Webb, the very best of good luck.
