Members gathered today for the first of our Summer Socials.
With tourist packed beaches the venue was moved from Wisemans beach to Mark & Mandys house, but the sun was shining and what a scorcher it was! In true competitive spirit, and a change from bowls, a Pétanque Pairs competition was held. Varying techniques delivered varying reults, helped along by a somewhat uneven lawn! With Cliff as chief Umpire and measurer, the final was a hotly contested battle. However there is always a winner and the winning pair were Mark Taylor and Sharon Harper-Green 🏆 Congrats to both! The afternoon was topped off with a chorus of Happy Birthday and a slice of cake for our Captain, Sharon! Check out our Gallery for more photos of the day

It was a very hot summers evening for our friendly against Reynalton.
Due to an earlier power failure we’d had to unroll the old mat, before power was restored and the electric winder was back in operation, so we had 3 mats out.. very cosy! Everybody played really well and our new mats played their part! By the end of a very hot game East Williamston had won 7 of the 9 games with 81 shots v 30 and everyone had a really enjoyable evening of bowls The teams swapped around a bit but results based on the original teams were Mark, Mandy Fran: Played 3, Won 2, Lost 1 : 11-2, 3-8, 6-3 Paula/Steve, Phill, Chris: Played 3, Won 3 : 11-1, 11-5, 17-1 Theresa, Gwyneth, Cliff: Played 3, Won 2, Lost 1 : 3-5, 9-4, 10-1 Tonights visitors had travelled all the way from Swansea for our Summertime Friendly.
Being used to playing on their more straight mats the visitors tended to play more direct, faster shots, however our new swingy mats often caught them out, giving East Williamston the win. Overall Result : Win to East Williamston 5 v Llansamlet 3 and 58 shots v 45 Theresa, Fran, Phill E Played 2 : Won 2 - 0 with 22 shots v 9 Mark, Sharon, Cliff Played 2 : Lost 0 - 2 with 7 shots v 21 Paula, Mandy, Phill P Played 2 : Lost 1 with 5 shots v 8 and Won 1 with 13 shots v 2 Mark, Mandy, Fran Played 1 : Won 1 with 6 shots v 1 Cliff, Phill P, Phill E Played 1 : Won 1 with 5 shots v 4 Well done everybody |
