News Update
Marine Gardens Bowling Club, report w/ending Sunday, 22nd September 2024.
(September 22, 2024)In this penultimate week of the season, the winning margin on any of the 4 matches played never exceeded 6 shots.
We had to dig in hard to reach a 65 - 59 shot victory against Goring Manor away from home winning on 2 rinks to 1 with 1 halved. Anne Knight, Perry Cairns, and Ken Leadbeater anchored this victory with a 21 - 16 win.
The following day at Arundel the home team ran out 3 - 1 rink winners with a total score of 64 - 58. The margin was narrowed thanks to a sterling performance by Clive Wootton, Tilly Hennings, Angela Neale, and Tim Baldwin who won by 29 - 11.
Another close encounter occurred at Storrington where the hosts recorded a 2 – 1 rink victory. However, thanks to a Top Rink performance of 20 - 12 from Les Gritton, Perry Cairns, and James Albon, we recorded the winning overall shot score of 52 - 49. Almost too close to call.
In our last Stracey Shield match played at home against Maltravers, the visitors came from behind to win narrowly on 3 rinks. Still, they suffered a decisive loss in the final rink 29 - 13 at the hands of Terry Ashley, Eric Hayward, John Nettleingham, and Bob Cole. This was enough to give the overall shot victory to Marine Gardens (79 - 76). Maltravers left with 6 of the available 10 points.
Another most enjoyable evening with Shuffleboard entertainment was experienced thanks to Wendy Wilson our social secretary. Les and Pam Gritton together with Alan Paterson took the honours.
