Tonight’s match was the South Pembs Friendly League fixture, that had been rearranged from January, against Hundleton.
In a change to the usual line up, playing Singles was Phill P who was slightly unnerved when the visitors first bowl of the night landed on the jack, but he recovered the situation well to take 1 on the first and 3 on the second. Hundleton took 1 on the third but Phill came straight back with 2 on the fourth and 3 on the fifth. With Phill now holding an 8 shot lead Hundleton continued to challenge taking 2 on the sixth but, with another 1 to Phill on the final end, he took the win. Theresa and Mandy played Pairs and started confidently with 4 on the first end. However Hundleton put up a good fight and, despite East Williamston often holding, the visitors kept disrupting the head and, in doing so, took 3 on the second, 2 on the third and 1 on the fourth to nudge themselves into the lead. East Williamston pulled back 1 on the fifth but another 1 to the visitors, on the sixth, held their lead. It was all down to the final end and with the visitors again holding it looked as though the points were lost. However a sublime weighted final shot by the East Williamston skipper scattered the holding bowls and took the jack to the awaiting pack to give the home side 3 and a 1 shot win. Stephen, Sharon and Fran played Triples and with only two bowls on the mat, on the first end, it was fortunately an East Williamston bowl which took the end. The home side took another 1 on the second but by the third end the visitors were better getting to the jack, taking 2 on the third and 3 on the fourth. East Williamston took 1 on the fifth and, after a great shot, were holding 2 on the sixth until Hundleton’s skip did a skilful shot to pinch it back. The visitors were now leading by 3 shots, as they entered the final end. Hundleton were again holding and the home team needed to break things up, so East Williamston fired a shot taking the jack back towards the home pack however the jack didn’t get the memo and instead fell off the mat to kill the end. The restart saw East Williamston landing 3 around the jack and, this time, Hundleton couldn’t disrupt things and with the skip also landing her two onto the jack East Williamston took 5 and the win. Cheryl, John, Cliff and Mark played Rinks and, with a great opening shot, took 1 on the first and 1 on the second. Hundleton pulled back 3 on the third but a tremendous team effort saw East Williamston land 7 on the fourth, to hold a 6 shot lead, followed by 1 on the fifth, 1 on the sixth and 1 on the final end to take a solid win. Hundleton put up a tremendous fight, with some close ends but, despite a few nervous moments, East Williamston bagged all ten points. Overall result : Win to East Williamston 10 - 0 on Points, 38 - 19 on shots Singles Win 10 - 3 (2 Points) Pairs Win 8 - 7 (2 Points) Triples Win 8 - 6 (2 Points) Rinks Win 12 - 3 (2 Points) Aggregate Shots 38 - 19 (2 Points)
