******************************************************************************************************************
Game was on. Rain and Heavy Green. Brian and I had a terrific game. I never under estimate anyone and try and stay relaxed and let the opposition make the mistakes and then pounce. Today I got out to a nice 14-7 lead on the heavy track and Barry was playing very good bowls and improved end after end. I found myself still calm but dropping end after end albeit 1's. I was down 14-25 and managed to get the Mat. From then on I settled and played as I know I can. Longer ends were the winner as I put the shots in and Brians Luck ran out and I ended up winning 31-28 after we were locked at 28-28. I never had much luck at times, gave away a few shots with narrow draws but stuck in their. Meanwhile Barry drew very well and I had to convert a few shots at vitat times to stay in the game. Anyway Rd 2 awaits and I am sure Barry will be a force in the future as he has only been bowling 18 months. Would have been nicer for us both if greens were quicker and was drier.
