Tonights match was the rearranged fixture, from December, away to Kilgetty and our last Friendly League match of the season.
Mark started off the evening in the Singles and got off to a good start, winning 2 on the first end. The home side came back with 3 on the second, as Mark struggled with the speed of the mat, but he regained the lead with 1 on the third and 1 on the fourth. Mark was holding on the fifth but Kilgetty did a lovely shot to take the end. Another 1 to Mark on the sixth and East Williamston were back in front (just). The final end was going to be a nail biter but the home side got 2 and secured the win. Up next were Sharon and Fran in the Pairs who also set off well, winning 2 on the first end. However they really struggled with the mat and getting to the jack and Kilgetty took advantage, winning the next four ends with 10 shots. The visitors managed to pull 1 back on the sixth and another on the last end, but the gap was too wide to close. Paula, Cliff and Mandy played Triples. This time it was the home side who took the first end, with 1 as East Williamston discovered the mats nuances, but a lovely shot to the jack, by Paula, regained 1 on the second. Cliff and Mandy then both drew in on the third, for another 2. Kilgetty levelled things with another 2 on the fourth but East Williamston took the next three ends with a further 3 shots and took the first win of the evening. Last up were Steve, Kym, Theresa and Phill in the Rinks. Steve’s first bowl landed nicely on the jack and with nobody able to move it the visitors had their first end. The second end again saw Steve pulling in to the jack and one behind, closely followed by Kym’s bowls and the visitors had 4. Every now and again the mat played its tricks and bowls did not land where they were intended but going into the third end East Williamston had a 4 shot lead. The home side pulled 1 back on the third but the fourth went to East Williamston. On the fifth end East Williamston were holding with Kym’s bowl touching the jack but a heavy bowl rolled a Kilgetty bowl in, which also rested on the jack and with neither side able to disrupt either bowl the end was tied. The final two ends went to Kilgetty but the 4 scored by East Williamston in the second had given the visitors the gap needed to stop Kilgetty catching up. East Williamston took the win but the 1 shot won by Kilgetty on the last end gave them a 1 shot advantage on the night and the 2 points for most shots. Overall Result : Loss to East Williamston 4 - 6 on Points and 21 - 22 on shots Singles Loss 5 - 6 Pairs Loss 10 - 4 Triples Win 6 - 3 Rinks Win 6 - 3 Some close games and a match well played by everybody and on a mat which proved quite tricky to conquer. An extra 4 points confirms our position as this years Winners of the Friendly League!
