On Sunday, Prattens played a mixed friendly game at home to Trowbridge Westbourne and won overall in a close game. The home side won on two rinks, while losing out on one; the overall result being a narrow win for Prattens.

On Thursday a trio of Prattens Ladies played in the County Triples against ladies from Stothert & Pitt and won by twenty shots to thirteen and advance to the quarter final where they will now play a team from Ilminster. Well done to Pauline, Sue and Chris.

In League games, the ladies lost in the Wild League last Tuesday against City of Wells (losing on all rinks, they did not gain any points) and also on Thursday, without the triples players, against Norwest.

The Mens team lost both of their games this week in away fixtures with Frome Selwood and Norwest A team and once again failed to pick up any points. In the game against Norwest A, Prattens fielded five players who had not played bowls prior to this season (one had only joined the club a few days earlier), which was noted by the Norwest team who commented how many new faces there were in our team.

In a Mixed MSL league game away to Castle Cary we also lost on every rink. The positive thing is that we have managed to fulfil all Mens and Mixed league games so far this season with full teams, which has not always been the case for some teams in the leagues.

We still have room for new members so if anyone else wishes to join the club, please contact Barrie or Pauline Dando on 01761-412705 or come along to the club evening on Monday evenings from 6pm.
