East Williamston were away for tonight’s South Pembs Friendly League match against Kilgetty.
Playing on one mat, up first was Mark in the Singles. Mark made a good start, taking 1 on the first, 1 on the second and 1 on the third. Kilgetty pulled 2 back on the fourth but Mark played brilliantly on the fifth to land all 4, closely followed by 2 on the sixth. On the final end Mark was holding but Kilgetty played a lovely shot to take 1, but it wasn’t enough for them to close the gap. Up next were Sharon and Fran in the Pairs. East Williamston again started well, taking 1 on the first end, but Kilgetty quickly replied to take 2 on the second and 1 on the third to nudge into the lead. Some lovely drawing shots saw the visitors take 2 on the fourth and 2 on the fifth but, again, Kilgetty replied to take 1 on the sixth. Going into the final end East Williamston were holding a slender 2 shot lead. Kilgetty nudged away the holding East Williamston bowl to take shot and soon added another to hold 2, which would give them a draw. However the final bowl of the game belonged to East Williamston and, having already tried to disrupt the two holding Kilgetty bowls, the East Williamston skip decided just to draw in to try and cut the home side down to 1. The final bowl proved to be an absolute beauty as it curled in to land squarely on the jack to take shot and the win. Kym, Theresa and Mandy played Triples. This time Kilgetty struck first, taking 1 on the first, but a tremendous Team effort gave East Williamston 4 on the second. Kilgetty quickly pulled 3 back on the third to level the scores but East Williamston were playing a good game of getting to the jack and then building a wall to defend it. This strategy worked well, delivering 2 on the fourth, 4 on the fifth, 1 on the sixth and 1 on the final end to seal themselves a solid win. The final game of the evening saw Stephen, John, Gwyneth and Phill P in the Rinks. East Williamston’s first bowl got to the jack and Kilgetty couldn’t disrupt it, giving the visitors 1. Kilgetty took 1 on the second but a great team effort gave the visitors 4 on the third and 1 on the fourth and a 5 shot lead. Kilgetty took 1 on the fifth and, on the sixth end, East Williamston were holding 1, but a stray shot nudged the Kilgetty bowls to give the home side 2. With the lead now cut to just 2 it was all down to the final end. East Williamston had built a wall, and there was no obvious shot bowl. However a great nudge, by the visiting skip, rolled one of the East Williamston bowls forward towards the jack, to hold shot. Kilgetty couldn’t disrupt the head and East Williamston took the win.
