Close games in open age night league
It was a double week of games last week with the second games producing lots of close games. Ballaugh B are becoming so much closer to taking their first win when they produced a draw against Castletown B 142-142. The home side Ballaugh B took 4 wins. They are getting closer each week to taking that win. This has been a terrific first season for a lot of the team and they have all improved since they first started and are a great credit to the Ballaugh club.
Peel Sunset hosted the Ballaugh A side, which was also another close game with Peel taking the win by just 3 points (173-170). This most certainly would have been the game to watch with so many close games I’m having to show the full game results.

Mixed Team Championship Group B
South Ramsey A hosted local rivals North Ramsey A, with the home team knowing only a win would do. Whilst the result was a 6-3 win for South on games, the chalks were a lot closer. After the first five games off a 30-chalk lead for South Ramsey looked positive, aided by a superb fightback by Steven Waters who trailed 4-19 to James Teare, clawed his way back into the game before losing out 17-2. In the final four games the deficit to five chalks (161-156). With both teams on six points, there are just 29 chalks difference, there is still all to play for both teams in the remaining two fixtures.

Marown B and Castletown continue to load their teams in the Plate competition with new and Junior bowlers to gain experience, with this policy paying dividends for Marown as they picked up their third win in the group stage to sit in second place on six points. Home advantage paid off for the Crosby side as they edged home by just three chalks (151-148), with the games won also going in favour of the home team 5-4.

North Ramsey B hosted South Ramsey B at Mooragh Park with the visitors taking a comfortable 14 chalk victory (130-144), helped by three single figure wins. The result left South Ramsey in top spot, with just one fixture left to play away to Port Erin, with the Breagle side needing to win both fixtures to stand any chance of being Group winners, should they win both fixtures then the chalks difference will decide the group winners.
