Thame Bowls Club Weekly Newsletter No 17
Thame ladies played Marlow at home on Tuesday 13th August. Weather not so humid because of a lot of cloud. Our only winning rink was Philippa Feltham, Pauline Holmes & Frances Goodyear with a score of 21 - 15. Sandra French, Marion Keal & Jan Sargeant (who shared being 2nd) and skip Heather Hallchurch had a very tough game against their team, although they tried their hardest could not beat them. Wendy Mannix, Jill Brooks & Deirdre Page had a difficult start but after picking up a 5 and a 6 and a few more shots, managed to draw on the 17th end but Marlow took the lead by 1 shot with a final score of 19 - 20. The overall score was Thame 51 - Marlow 67. Thank you and well-done ladies. Captain Jill Brooks.
