Match Report - 02 Jul 2025, Tiverton Canal Bowling Club Over 60's navy beat Exonia
Warm, sunny afternoon, with a welcome cooling, sometimes strong, breeze. Green becoming extremely fast due to weather and the absence of the irrigation system, not due until next week!
John's triple began well and then, on a longer Jack, picked up a '6' to double their score to go 12 - 3 up. With such a lead, it's easy to become slightly complacent, it certainly took the early pressure off. However, Exonia responded well and made good inroads after the next three ends and with such tricky conditions, anything could happen but thankfully Tiverton Canal stood up to the challenge and managed to keep ahead, finishing, 18 - 13.
Stewart's triple found themselves on the back foot, again battling the fast track as much as the opposition but they hung in to keep within a single shot before also picking up a big score, a '7' on the ninth to go 11 - 5 ahead. This obviously changed the whole complexion of the match despite Exonia demonstrating they were not to be taken lightly. Stewart's side managed to keep things tight for much of the remainder so that even a late rally from the visitors would not be enough to alter the situation, a second win for Tiverton Canal, 17 - 11.
