This afternoon saw the battle of the sexes in our annual Ladies vs Gents match, played over five rinks of triples.
Suzie Timcke, Lesley Sargood and Helen Philpott pulled away against John Rawlinson, Peter Pask and Chris Timcke to go ahead 17-13 after 12 ends, but despite going into the last end 2 shots up, they dropped a 2 to finish all level at 20-20.
Carole Ash, with new bowlers Marie Brewer and Louise Broadbridge, was 10-5 up after 10 ends but they went in to the last end 14-14. A single shot for Tony Broom, Peter Sutton and David Underdown saw the men victorious 15-14.
Ladies' Captain, Bobby Bruce and her team gave it a good go and finished only two shots behind Geoff Cox's team 16-18.
Eric Dow lead his team to a 22-14 win over Lynn Stothard's ladies.
Paul Callow, Malcolm Jones and Keith Watson proved tough opponents for Pam Clack, Cherry Richardson and Emer Morris, taking a convincing 26-11 win.
It doesn't take much working out to see that the men won overall.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon with cakes provided by Diane Cox and Ann Thurogood - a big thank you to them.
Finally, it was good to see new bowlers getting involved and playing well.
Thanks, as always, to our lovely spectators.
