Saturday morning, the temperature in the mid twenties...
Dave Hardaway and Robbie Williams contested the Handicap Final. Robbie raced into a fairly dominant 18-7 lead but Dave managed to pull it back to 18 all before a final push saw Robbie take the title 21-18
Gerald Amos, Brian Clarke & John Bullard took on Wendy Hardaway, Hugh Grassby & Philippa Calcutt in the Triples. Wendy, Hugh & Philippa took an earely lead before being pegged back. From then on it was nip and tuck until Gerald, Brian & John pulled away over the last few ends to take the game.
Saturday afternoon and the temperature is now in the 30's
John Bullard & Dave Hardaway took to the stage in the Over 60's. Old adversaries, it was Dave that took the honours this time
The Novices final was between Grahame Andrews & Brian Clarke. This game saw Brian`surge into the lead, Grahame taking time to get into the game but eventually pulling the deficit back only to fall short at the end

Sunday morning, hot and humid...
The Mixed Pairs , Andrew Compton & Dave Hardaway faced Brian Clarke & Dave Henley. Andy & Dave never really got into the game and Brian & Dave ran out fairly comfortable winners
The Mixed Singles was between John Bullard and Penny Hannaford. Although Penny gave her all in an entertaining game, she came up against an in form John.
A massive but short lived deluge turned the green into a lake during the break but after a short delay, the finals resumed in a somewhat stifling heat
The Two Wood kicked the afternoon off, Dave Hardaway & Dave Henley contesting. The Hornet raced away to start and when the Captain did get going, he left it too late and ran out of ends with the Hornet deserving his win.
The Men's Final between Paul Sapwell & Robbie Williams was always going to be an uphill battle for Robbie and so it proved, but he put up a game show with some fine bowling.
The Ladies Final, Kath Cowan & Penny Hannaford was an absorbing contest, very close at the start before Kath pulled away, only for Penny to stage a comeback and it could have gone either way until Kath produced s stunning last end.

Thanks too of course to the organisers, our competition secretaries Bob Borg & Grahame Andrews.
And to all the competitors, win or lose
Until next year!
THIS YEARS LADIES v GENTS took place on a wet but playable afternoon. Unlike last season's close game, the Gents took the win rather emphatically. As usual the game was played in a good hearted but hotly contested spirit and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
THE ANNUAL PRESIDENT V CAPTAIN was a great success, played in beautiful sunshine and with the added surprise of a Lancaster fly over. The captain triumphed this time, but the afternoon was enjoyed by all. Thanks to Wendy, Sindy, Pete and Pam for their help and all that attended to support our Defibrillator Fund.
