Match Report - 07 May 2025, Tiverton Canal Bowling Club Over 60s Blue beat Belmont
Good start to the Over 60's Blue team season. We played Belmont in Exeter on a poorly maintained green with some strange runs. Chris Hutter played with Pete Brewer and Rodney Snell, despite winning 9 of the 18 ends they were held to 13 against 18 for Belmont. I played with Peter Thornton and Barry Kerslake and after a slow start we managed a Hotshot 9 on the 5th end. The opposing Skip and I watched incredulously at Barry who kept kicking out bowls, we thought he had lost the plot! After that Belmont were on the back foot and even securing a 4 on the 16th end the game ended with our winning the rink 20 to 14. Our rink finished the game a few minutes before Chris so we watched them come back from 11 to 18 down to win a point each on the last two ends to close it down to 13/18 meaning a win by one point overall. So 6 points from our first outing with Pete Brewer's knocking the jack back on the last end securing that last all important point. KF
