Match Report - 02 Jul 2025, Tiverton Canal Bowling Club Over 60s Blue beat Madeira E
Blues had a tough fight at Maderia, Barry, Alan and Peter seemed to cruising it, leading 12 - 2 by the 7th end. However they got stuck on 13 for 6 ends by which time it was 13 all with 3 ends to play. Gaining 3 on the the next 2 ends left them 3 ahead so losing a 2 on the last end saw them edge it by one.
By the time they had finished Kevin, Rod and Chris still had 4 ends up play and were drawn on 13 each. All eyes were therefore on the last 4 ends. Madeira gained 1 on the 15th and 16th ends and Blue's came out with the point after a measure in the 17th. Going into the last end, one down it rested on the skips last bowls Kevin managed to edge the jack turning over 4 being held by Madeira levelling the score. Madeira's skip had the last wood but failed to make contact. An enjoyable game for both teams but we came away with 7 points and 1 to Madeira.
