Rhiwbina bowls club were the visitors to St Andrews Road, Dinas knew that 9 points would guarantee them top spot. They started the game strong and by the halfway stage led Rhiwbina by 15. On 15 ends, the lead remained the same but at this point Rhiwbina has gone in the lead on 2 rinks and were trying hard to spoil the party.

However, Dinas showed there muscle and ran out winners by 27 shots and more importantly taking 12 points.

Dinas Powys travelled to sunny Barry Island today to face Barry Athletic. After Barry won last night Dinas knew it was going to be a tough game with both sides trying to get as many points as they could to secure promotion. Barry raced into an 11 shot lead at the halfway stage.

By 18 end Dinas had manged to pull this back to 4 shots. It was nip and tuck for the next 12 ends, then news came in from the pigeon's landing on rink 1 that Ystradfechan had won 12-2 meaning Dinas needed 3 points from the game to secure promotion.

Barry's tails were also up knowing 12 points or more would certainly keep them in hunt. They did so beating us by 7 shots and wining on 3 rinks - congratulations on your win today.

M Woodcock 21-12 N Leigh

This was only Dinas's second defeat of the season and puts them 2 points closer to promotion.
