3 weeks ago here we played a 16-16 draw against Jim McCloskey and Ray Morris and had a ripper of a game and it was fitting that we played against them again today.
After heavy overnight rain, the green still ran pretty well. We were down 0-7 after 3 ends after they picked up the Jack on all 3 ends for shots when we were holding numerous shots. We fought back well and led 11-8 and dropped a 3 to 11-11. It was a very close game from there and at 18th end we were 19-19. Dropped and 2 and 1 after holding shots on last ends to go in 19-22 into the last end. Things were against its on the head and we took the risk of dropping an 8 to kill the end and live to fight another day but we managed to drop a 5 on the last to eventually go down 19-27.
Great game again but they certainly played well and Rays Tight Bowls were the order of the day again., His weight control was pretty good throughout especially the run shots which caused us a lot of damage.
