Angels whitewash title contenders Seven Up
After the games having to be abandoned last Sunday, this week the winter league bowls got underway on Wednesday with the round robin attracting twenty-seven members. The groups were split into triples and the winners by one point in the black jacks group were Sid McKnight, Pauline Cowley and Paul Callister. The second group playing with yellow jacks was won by eight points by Margie Tasker, Bran Aspden and Derek Allen.
Saturday’s matches saw three teams battle it out. Seven Up took on Castletown Cannons and won five out of the six games played. The win by Cannons was by Alan Phair who beat Dougie Allan to eighteen. Cannons then took on Louie’s Angels and again won one game, this time it was Joy Stephens who held Caroline Whitehead to nineteen points, whilst the other close win was Margie Tasker for Angels keeping Barbara Young to eighteen. Then the final match of the day was Louie’s Angels taking on Seven Up. The Angel’s won all six games to achieve the maximum score of 126. The closest scoring games were won by Margie Tasker and Rebecca Teare, beating Mark Kelly to nineteen and Andy Kennish to eighteen respectively.

There are no fixtures on Saturday, 13th November, so there will be a round robin being held. Also, I need to mention that from now on all entries for the round robin sessions will close at 12.50.
Entries are now being taken at Nobles 3 green for the J&M Lee charity doubles, which will now take place one weekend later than originally planned, with the new dates being December 18 and 19.
