On Saturday, 29th February Prattens Bowls Club leapt over to Clarrie Dunbar Indoor Bowls to play a game against our near neighbours, Norwest. Both teams included a number of players who play indoors in the winter (some more regularly than others) and some who do not normally play indoors, including some who had never played indoors! The game was played in a good spirit on all four rinks and was followed by a good meal supplied by Clarrie Dunbar.
For much of the game, the overall result was in doubt and when the final ends had been played, the teams had won on two rinks each. That, however, was where the close result ended, as the two winning Norwest rinks won by only two shots each, while the winning margins for the Prattens rinks were eight shots and seventeen shots, giving Prattens a victory by ninety shots to sixty-nine.
So, congratulations go to Prattens and their Captain of the Day, Liz Durnford, (even if she did skip a losing rink – but then, so did the Norwest Captain!).
Advance notice that we will be holding our pre-season meeting in the bowls clubhouse on Saturday, 21st March at 10.30 a.m. – this is for current members and those who are wondering if they would like to join.
