Match Report - 30 Jul 2024, Tiverton Canal Bowling Club Friendly Triples beat Byeways 4 x 3 Greys
It was a scorching hot sunny afternoon, hottest of the year thus far. The green looked and played very well.
Top triple proved to be Kevin Lower's with Margaret Gratton and Tony Crawford, who decided early on the ditch his bowling arm and revert to bowling without it. John's triple also, did well, very tight over the first nine ends only to race away in the second half with Tony Burgess bowling at the top of his game.
Kevin Finan's triple, with Alice and Colin, were going very well and looked to be continuing on in the same vein after tea but, suddenly their Byeways opponents settled into a groove and rattled off five winning ends to almost level. Kevin took a single3 on the penultimate end but Byeways seized the opportunity on the last, taking '3' and the match!
Unfortunately the weather was proving too much for Maggie and her team and after a positive start, found themselves struggling badly in extreme heat. Eventually having to come off two ends earlier for the sake of their well being.
Apart from the heat and resulting discomfort for Maggie and Peter S, the afternoon proved an enjoyable one for most, both on and off the green.
TBBC = 2 Wins (64 Shots)
Byeways = 2 Wins (55 Shots)
