Our second game of the week was a Pembs Main League match, at home, against Tabernacle.
Mark playing Singles started confidently taking 2 on the first end and 3 on the second. The visitors were struggling to get to grips with the swing of our mat and Mark took advantage with 4 on the third, 3 on the fourth and 1 on the fifth. Entering the sixth end Mark was holding a 13 shot lead. However Tabernacle managed to pull inside Marks bowl to pinch 2 and another 2 on the seventh. The gap had narrowed to 9 but Mark quickly pulled away again taking all of the remaining ends and a further 11 shots. Winning the game with a 20 shot lead. Sharon and Fran played Pairs and won 2 on the first end. Tabernacle crept a bowl in to take 1 on the second but the home team were playing well, with Sharon doing some lovely drawing shots, landing on the jack and Fran pinching the ends for East Williamston whenever Tabernacle managed to sneak past Sharons bowl to get to the jack. This team work paid dividends as East Williamston took the next six ends with a further 9 shots, giving the home side a 10 shot lead by the end of the eighth end. Tabernacle were, again, really struggling with the mat, but pulled 1 back on the ninth. 2 more to East Williamston on the tenth and 1 to Tabernacle on the Eleventh. However it was a lovely final end as Sharon drew two bowls to the jack, closely followed by Fran and with no reply from the visitors the home team took 4 and the win. Gwyneth, Theresa and Phill E played Triples and took 1 on the first. Tabernacle were holding on the second, but Theresa did a lovely shot which curled perfectly to nestle inside the away bowl and onto the jack giving the home side another 1. Tabernacle put up a good fight though, winning 2 on the third and levelling the scores. 1 to East Williamston on the fourth, followed by 1 to Tabernacle on the fifth and the game was closely balanced. East Williamston played some nice bowls but the Tabernacle skip was a good disrupter and pinched 1 on the sixth and 1 on the seventh. Suddenly the visitors had got the lead. However the home side pulled it back winning 2 on the eighth and 1 on the ninth. With a 1 shot lead it was going to be an important last end. Tabernacle were holding but a few nudges and the East Williamston bowl rolled in to take 1 shot and the win. Steve, Kym, Mandy and Phill P played Rinks and quickly took 1 on the first. On the second Phill did a lovely shot into the jack but a strike from Tabernacle pinched the end. The third end was a great team effort with Steve drawing to the jack, closely followed by Kym also drawing to the jack and finished with Phill taking out two Tabernacle bowls to give East Williamston 4.
