East Williamston were away for the first match of the Friendly League, with a visit to St Johns.
For the first time the match was to be played on two mats. Phill E struggled in the singles and couldn't get to grips with the mat. He started to make some traction half way through the match but by then the gap was to wide. Mandy and Fran faced similar issues in the pairs with bowls playing short or too straight and long. They took the first end but St Johns were very good at surrounding the jack and despite some decent shots East Williamston could not win the ends. Kym, Steve and Mark played triples and took some heavy defeats early on. However they persisted and having secured the final end with 5 they took the draw. Heather, Theresa, Sharon and Chris played Rinks and initially encountered similar issues with understanding the mat. However when they won an end they did so with 3 shots which carried them through to secure the win. Playing on two mats was a real positive for the game, resulting in far less sitting around, waiting to play and with a much earlier finish it gave teams time to chat and enjoy refreshments before leaving. Overall result: Loss to East Williamston 3 - 7 with 22 shots to 43 for St Johns Singles Loss 4 - 15 Pairs Loss 1 - 15 Triples Draw 8 - 8 Rinks Win 9 - 5
