Won't say too much about the so called "trial" today. 5 Key players away for some reason so Latif had all reserves and went down heavily to Troy Makins side. The Very slow and tracky green never helped the Reserve bowlers and Latif was down Most ends. Troy converted also with some lovely drives when he was down. Score was 12-29.
James Lavertys side were well ahead and although Ocean Shores came back towards the end they managed a good win on their rink. Score was 26-18.
Our Rink only fill in was Billy Creedon for Mario Azzopardi who had to work. Billy played the best of all of us. I play 2nd and Played pretty well. Clinton also as 3rd played some nice shots as did Scotty. The Green was very unforgiving and tracked everywhere. We were leading 11-1 after 5 ends and from then we dropped so many ends while we were holding to some great Bowls from Ricky Barnes Side. It just never changed. Usually it turns but we went down 13-18.
Not a good start but once we are at full strength next week should be a different story and Brunswick Heads away will not be easy as they have some good imported players I believe.
3 Away games and 3 Home games. Must win 2 of the 3 away.
