News Update
Marine Gardens Bowling Club, report w/ending Sunday, 8th September 2024.
(September 08, 2024)The mice continued to play more locally with the cats away on tour in Devon.
Our trip to Steyning for a friendly match resulted in a victory of 3 rinks to 1 (71 - 58), and the losing rink lost by only 1 shot. Top Rink honours went to Heather Marsella, Ken Leadbeater, and Jim Gray (21 - 16).
The following day in a friendly match at home to Billinghurst, captain Jim Gray again led from the front together with Valerie Conway and Clive Wootton to the Top Rink spot (21 - 10) and Marine Gardens to a 3-1 victory (71 - 53).
Unfortunately, the fixture with Pulborough fell victim to the weather.
Our winning streak was ended by our visitors from Ewell Village (Epsom) who won by 3 rinks to 1 (67 - 65). This was a very close finish and Sandy Lay-Flurrie, Angela Neale, and Perry Cairns almost did enough to level the scores with a final rink win of 22 - 11.
Our final match this week was played between the showers at Rottingdean where the hosts ran out winning by 3 rinks to 2 (97 - 68). Top Rink honours for Marine Gardens plus lovely 90th-anniversary pens were gratefully received from Rottingdean Bowling Club, Tilly Hennings, Sandy Lay-Flurrie and Alan Paterson who recovered from a slow start to win 19 - 8.
