Match Reports

Thame Bowls Club weekly newsletter No 9.

Gordon Taylor captained the match on 13th June against Waddesdon on their home turf and lost by 84 shots to 64. Thame’s highest winning rink was played by Alfred Jochum, Alison Wilkinson and skip Ray Plested.

Thame’s Men’s League Team bounced back with a good win after some disappointing matches, by beating Blackbird Leys 61 shots to 51 earning 5 league points. Although they stayed in 4th position, they are only one and a half points behind Chipping Norton and Bicester. The best rink was played by Geoff Roynon, Keith Brooks, Graham Watson and skip Ian Rutherford who won 21 – 11.

The mixed friendly against High Wycombe on 17th June saw Thame lose by 95 shots to 73 but it was a good game enjoyed by all and captained by Gordon Taylor.

The game against Princes Risborough on 18 June was threatened with thunderstorms and torrential rain which, fortunately, didn't materialise and apart from a few spots of rain on the first 2 ends, was played in a dry but humid atmosphere. The game went well and going into the last end Thame had a one-shot advantage and although two of our rinks gained 3 shots on the 18th end, three of our rinks lost a total of 8 shots so Thame, although winning on 2 rinks and drawing on another, lost overall by 75 shots to 79. ‘I must admit, here, that it was my rink, with me as the skip, who lost 5 shots on the last end and thus the game. Our ladies did us proud with Jane Kimber, Heather Hallchurch and skip Jill Brooks defeating a men's triple by 21 shots to 11 making them the highest winning rink with Mike Zakaszewski, Marion Keal and skip Sharon Heafey winning by 16 shots to 12.’ Captain Bill Giles.
