There are three games for Prattens Bowl Club to report on this week with one Ladies’, one Mixed and one Men’s – there should have been an extra Mixed game but our opponents could not raise a team and pulled out.

The Ladies game was a Wild league game against Frome Selwood where we unfortunately lost the game but picked up two points by winning on one of the three rinks.

The Mixed game was a friendly at home to Paulton which was played across four rinks wit a mixture of fours and triples being fielded by each team. Paulton won the match overall and on three rinks with Prattens managing to win on one rink.

The Men’s game was played in the Somerset County League against Purnell B at home. Prattens had a positive start on two rinks but the third rink was 10 shots down after only three ends.

However that rink recovered well to win a close match by score of 21 to 19. With the other two rinks continuing to do well Prattens ended the game winning on all rinks and picked up all 12 points to help close the gap on Purnell at the top of the East 2 division.
