Terrible Conditions today, So Windy and Cold.. Really spoilt the Days Bowls..
1st game against Phil McLaren and Laurie Paatsch (Hamilton). We started well and some great drives by Laurie kept them in the game. We slipped behind but managed a 6 on the last end to win 22-18 and 8 from the 15 ends., Good hard game and we both played fairly well under the conditions.,
2nd game against Heather C and Melissa Gill. I have played against these 2 Draw Bowlers before and the certainly played the windy conditions better than us. We went down 6-29 with just 3 from 15 ends, No Matter what we did, They Did better. They ended up winning the Tornament with 95 Points…
3rd Game against Paul Watson and Abdul Latif. A game spoilt by conditions and Latif had 8 drives and missed them all, Thats the conditions we had. Paul Led well and John did to in parts. 25 ends 2 Bowl PAIRS and We managed to get 12 of the 25 ends from them and u until the last 2 ends were right in it but just could not get the lead. Dropped and 3 and 4 on last 2 ends trying to force the results so went down 20-30.
Shame weather was so bad. Day started out very well. Paul and Latif ended up with 3rd place overall.
