Match Report - 21 Aug 2024, Tiverton Canal Bowling Club Over 60's navy beat Madeira E
Weather: Rather cloudy, a bit of warm sun/brightness briefly early on but otherwise cool.
Green: Quick Pace. Rink 2 (White setting) difficult lines on gate side.
Madeira E were anchored to the bottom, struggling to find enough players to fulfil their matches. They have five teams in the league and simply cannot accommodate them all.
Pete Chidgey's triple looked to be struggling early on, 2 - 6 down after seven but then picked up a '6' to suddenly turn things round. Two '4's soon after set them on their way to what turned out to be a very comfortable win, 26 - 12.
John's triple picked up singles and a '2' to go nicely ahead, much to the frustration of Chris, the opposition Skip, having been close on two or three occasions. However, with Madeira's front end struggling, an unexpected bonus of '7' came John's way on end six for a 12 - 1 lead. This was then saw a run of three more ends that put them 25 - 1 up! By the twelfth end, John's side were 30 - 2 to the good but credit to Madeira, they began to show what they can do and out bowled Borough for four ends, all too late of course. The last end resulted in their most successful, taking a '4' on a long jack to break into double figures, 31 - 11.
This was clearly the perfect result for Borough 'Gold' securing all 8 points and with it the Division Championship, for the third year in a row !
TBBC 'Gold' = 2 Winning Rink (57 Shots) 8 Points
Madeira 'E' = 0 Winning Rinks (23 Shots) 0 Points
