Due to a couple of injuries, it was a depleted team of 8 who travelled for tonight’s Main League fixture, away to Hook.
Mark knew he had a tough game, in the Singles, as he faced the current World Champion, Andrew Hudson. Hook got off to a strong start, with 3 on the first end but Mark replied with 2 on the second. However, despite Mark playing some excellent shots, the Champion dominated with Mark only winning three of the twelve ends and a hefty defeat. Mandy and Fran played Pairs. Despite Hook taking the first two ends East Williamston pulled the next two ends back and some closely fought ends ensued, with East Williamston doing well in cutting down the Hook shots. East Williamston were unlucky where, on a couple of ends, it looked as though they had pinched the win, but after very close measures the home side were the victors. East Williamston stayed in contention until the seventh end when Hook took 3, followed by a further 3 on the tenth which pushed the game too far for East Williamston to catch up. Kym, Cliff and Mandy played Triples with a positive start, winning the first end. However Hook were superior at surrounding the jack, taking a 5 shot win on the third end. East Williamston were playing a little short, unable to break up the Hook bowls and it was the seventh end before they could get on the score sheet, by which time Hook already had an 8 shot advantage. East Williamston secured the ninth and tenth ends but the gap was too wide to close. Gwyneth, Steve, Mark and Phill P played Rinks and with a solid team performance took 6 on the first end. For the next 4 ends Hook were playing catch up and were 1 shot ahead by the fifth end. However East Williamston pulled another coup on the sixth with a cheeky 5 shot win. Taking also the seventh and ninth ends Hook could not catch them and East Williamston were delighted to take the two points. Overall Result : Loss to East Williamston 2 - 6 on points and 27 - 50 on shots Singles Loss 5 - 17 Pairs Loss 5 - 13 Triples Loss 4 - 12 Rinks Win 13 - 8 It was always going to be a difficult match but a superb result for us to take the 2 points at an away game and some really good bowls played by all. Well done.
