Very Hot Conditions and draining but enjoyable game and they deserved their win.
Brett Wicks and I had a Hard game today on Slow 3rd Green against Selina and Tony. I knew from the 1st end we were in for a game and Selina Led Very well but Tony was incredible with weight control using Aero Optima to mere perfection throughout the game.. We went down in the end 18-23 but turning point was 13th end when holding 5 shots, Tony picked up Jack clean for a Trail for 3.

Ted Reed and I had 3 Tough Games Today.
1st Game Rink 3 Indoor against Ron Lewis (Tight Edges) and Robbie Cresswell (Tight XV-1's) Was a good game and we would have won most games the way we played but Ron Led Well and Robbie Converted at least 5 ends when we had shots. Went down 8-16 dropping a 3 on the last trying to get a Number.. Dropped a 4 First End with Robbies Great Conversion from 3 down, Dropped another 4 when we were coming back chasing a kitty in ditch and took our 2nd shot out. 2nd game against Alex McRae and Warren Mills. Ted and I were a little Flat and never played as well in this one albeit Millsie made some good saves and Conversions. We went down 8-16 again. 3rd game against Tony and Eric Johannas and a Fine 17-13 win although we had a good lead 13-4, they came back to 14013 before Eric unluckily gave shot away and instead of 14-14 it was 15-13 and we won last 2 ends 1 and 1 to win 17-13. Good Days Bowls under Hot Conditions. One Downer on the Day was the Bloody Loud CRAP Music played during the First 2 games through the Speakers on the Outdoor Green. . It ok if its soft but it was Mainly CRAP Music from the Radio with Heaps of Ads and was bloody annoying. If we wanted Music with Bowls we would ask for it.. If that happens again I shall not bother bowling here and I know a few others were cheesed off including a Top Committee Member... Nice Weekend Break from Bowls...
Will be at Southport at 12.30pm to see someone though and watch some bowls for a while... Sold Bowls and a Bag and a nice Afternoon off Bowls as cant be bothered fighting the heat weekends as well as week days... Ted Stapleton and I play Dick English and George English in the Semi Finals Today..
Made the Final and ended Runners Up Last year so would like to get to the Final again but a Hard ask against These Two... ***************************************************************************************************************** Very Tricky Conditions playing East West with fluctuating Winds. We were 10-15 down after 16 ends when Ted was Ill and we had to Abandon the game. Dick English has requested that game be continued at a later stage to play last 5 ends to be fair to us which we appreciate very much as game still in the Balance. Last Game with Fred Barnes until the end February as hes away on Holidays so would like to go out with a Win...
Well we had a Terrific game on the Horrid Rink 4 Indoor. Played against Gary and Colin Bray. The Bowls never went where Directed and we were down 4-16 after 10 ends and looking like we were finished as Gary and Colin were playing well. Managed to get a few ends together and holding at 19-19 on 19th end and couple of things went against us mainly from good results from the Opposition Bowls and we were 19-21 going into last end. Had Drawn Game until Colins Last Wide Drive which hit a bowl outside and took out our 2nd shot and Fred failed to draw another and we went down 20-21. Was a Terrific Game... All Played Good Bowls and some Brilliant Heads... Joe Cacace and I today in Practice for the Club PAIRS.
Played on the Slow Green against John Mclean and Roy Glover and had a Good 32-12 Win and 2nd Money for the day. Very Pleased with my game draw and on shot... Brett Wicks and I played Joe Jerenic and Barry Gilbert on a True but Pretty Slow New Green today for a 25-11 win and we Won the day with a +14 Won the Money. Had to Really Think hard as a Draw left you 12 Feet short. Played Pretty well albeit..
Im with Ted Reed again today and look forward to 3 good games. A decent Field even after the Big Weekend or Premier League and Premier 7's. **************************************************************************************************************** 3 Good Hard games under hard conditions. 1st game on Slow Middle Green against Brett Eade and Red Edwards. Always going to be a hard game and from the Roll Up Brett was on Jack most of the time and Red Was deadly with his on shots. Thanks to Ted we stayed in it and got ahead at 14-11 on 13th end. Last end 2 Down and 3rd and 4th Shot Red had an impossible shot to get final shot for a Draw but as he had done all day, He made the shot. Good Game and a Draw not really good for either of us... 2nd game on the same Green North South where as Morning was East West, Played Bob Priest and Ian Erskine who can bowl. Down 1-4 we clawed out way back to 7-7 after 8 ends before a 5, 3 and 3 saw us get a great lead and eventually won 19-8. 3rd Game on Top Fast Green running 17 Seconds and hard to adjust after slow Green but we played Steve Triffett and Steve Bell Jnr and a Very tight game after being down 2-8, Came back to 10-10 on last end when we picked up a 2 to win 12-10. Good Day in Very Hot Conditions but No Prize Money today but Unbeaten in 3 Enduros now... The Man of The Moment and Special Award went to Steve Bell Jnr.
He Received The "Lead" Award for an outstanding Performance Today (He Did Play pretty good Bowls against us in the last game and was unlucky to lose it) Doing Absolutely Cuff All... Happy Doing it too !!!!!
