It was East Williamston’s second home match of the week, this time against Lamphey, in the Friendly League.
Lamphey had asked if the Rinks game could be played early, so up first was Paula, Gwyneth, Mandy and Phill P. East Williamston got off to an excellent start and played a consistent game, winning the first 4 ends and leading by 5 shots. Lamphey really struggled to get to grips with our mat and their bowls were heading in all directions. Lead bowler Paula turned the heat up in the fifth end and consistently hit and surrounded the jack, making life even more difficult for Lamphey, and helping East Williamston to get a further 9 shots on the last 3 ends and taking a resounding win, having won all 7 ends. Back to the normal running order Mark played singles, and again, got off to a great start winning 4 shots on the first end. However Lamphey were not going to let East Williamston have it all their own way and levelled the scoreboard on the second end. It was a game of ‘anything you can do’ and the game was still tied by the fourth end. Mark grabbed 3 on the fifth end and started to edge ahead. Lamphey pulled 1 back on the sixth but Mark took all 4 shots on the final end to take a solid victory. Sharon and Fran played Pairs but got off to a slow start with Lamphey taking the first two ends. Sharon played some great shots to the jack but Lamphey just kept nudging ahead and were 4 shots to the good by the fifth end. The pair were worried the game was escaping them but came back and grabbed two on the sixth end. Coming into the final end the pair knew they needed at least two to draw. Sharon, again, bowled perfectly and nestled two bowls against the jack in the far corner. Lamphey, who had found our mats tricky all evening, struggled to get near. Knowing we had the two shots, and at least a draw, Fran bowled her three, which neatly nestled into Sharons bowls and the jack. Lamphey had the last bowl and both Sharon and Fran crossed their fingers, hoping that Lamphey’s last bowl would not mess things up… relief, it hit the block and East Williamston took the win. Last up were John, Cliff and Theresa in the Threes and they got off to a strong start, being 4 shots up by the fourth end. East Williamston had a tremendous fifth end, winning by 5 shots and, despite Lamphey winning 4 on the last two ends, East Williamston had pushed the gap too far for Lamphey to catch them. Overall Result : Win to East Williamston 10 - 0 with 44 shots against 16 Singles Win 12 - 6 Pairs Win 8 - 5 Threes Win 10 - 5 Rinks Win 14 - 0 Congratulations to everybody who played tonight. Some really good bowling and a superb win.
