Match Reports

Thame Bowls Club weekly newsletter No 14

Thame played a rearranged, mixed, friendly against Loudwater on Thursday 13 July and suffered a heavy defeat 91 shots to 45. Captain Gordon Taylor was also the best performing skip alongside Gini Williams and Alfred Jochum.

The men however had a convincing win against league leaders, Woodstock in the Oxfordshire Bowls League match on Thursday 20 July by 60 shots to 53. This gave them 4.5 points against Woodstock’s 1.5 and although they retained third place, are now only 4 points behind the leaders and 3.5 points behind Bicester in second place. Thame’s best rink was played by Ray Lewin, Mel Warner, Les Canfield and skip Chris Shannon who won 23 points to 9. There are now only two matches left against Bicester away, on 27 July and Blackbird Leys on 3 August at home.

The Purser Cup that had been swiftly rearranged by Competitions Secretary, Adrian Wilcox, for Saturday 22 July, after postponement on 9 July, unfortunately had to be delayed again because of wet and windy weather. A new date is yet to be agreed.

On Sunday, we welcomed Wendover with 6 rinks of triples in operation.  Wendover had one late cry off, so Keith Brooks agreed to play for them, which he did annoying well to give a good score for Wendover. We were holding our own until a heavy shower approximately halfway through drove us off the rink. It all seemed to go downhill afterwards with an overall score of 77 to Thame and 120 to Wendover. We did however have one winning rink Dave Holland, Terri Blackburn and Gini Williams who won by 17 points to 13. Captain Roger Blackburn said ‘overall, a very pleasant atmosphere and despite the rain everybody seemed to enjoy it.’
