East Williamston were away, to Reynalton, for their first Friendly League match of the season.
First up was Mark in the Singles. The home side got off to a good start, taking the first two ends but Mark pulled 1 back on the third. Another 2 to Reynalton on the fourth and the gap was widening. Mark took another 1 on the fifth but was struggling to gauge the mat. Reynalton landed another 3 on the sixth and despite Mark winning 2 on the final end, the gap was too wide, giving Reynalton their first win of the night. Playing Pairs were Mandy and Fran. A confident start gave Reynalton 2 on the first end but East Williamston replied with 2 on the second. Another 2 to the home side on the third end and it looked as though Reynalton were going to pull away again. However two nice bowls by Mandy and the visitors were level once more. Reynalton were holding the fifth but Fran dislodged shot bowl to take 1 on the fifth. Another 1 to the visitors on the sixth and a two point lead. On the final end Mandy was holding with Reynalton second. Fran sent her last bowl down and feared the worst when she just touched Mandy’s bowl which fell away from the jack, but luckily her bowl curled inside the Reynalton bowl and nestled onto the jack, to take the end and the game. Playing Triples were Paula, Gwyneth and Sharon. Again Reynalton took the first end. East Williamston were really struggling to gauge the mat and Reynalton took advantage, surrounding the jack and taking 5 on the second end. On the third Reynalton were holding but a lovely bowl by Sharon cut inside to take 1. Reynalton took another 2 on the fourth and another couple of nice bowls gave the visitors another 2 on the fifth. 2 more to the home side on the sixth and a 7 shot lead the visitors knew they couldn’t catch them but another lovely bowl by Sharon on the final end reduced the deficit to 6. The final game was Rinks, played by Brenda, John, Kym and Cliff. This time it was East Williamston who had the confident start, taking 3 on the first and 2 on the second. Reynalton pulled one back on the third but two lovely shots by John and Cliff gave the visitors another 2 on the fourth and a 6 shot advantage. Despite East Williamston holding, Reynalton were suddenly disrupting ends and took 2 on the fifth and 2 on the sixth. On the final end, and with the lead now cut to only 2, East Williamston were holding 3 or 4 and just needed to block it up. Unfortunately it didn’t happen and Reynalton snuck their bowl through the pack to the jack. It looked as though Reynalton might have 2 to draw the game but a measure confirmed they had just 1 and with a 1 shot advantage East Williamston took the win. Overall Result : Loss to East Williamston 4 - 6 on points (Reynalton got bonus 2 points on shots) EW 22 - R 28 Singles Loss 4 - 8 Pairs Win 7 - 4 Triples Loss 10 - 4 Rinks Win 7 - 6
