Alex Myles reports:
We won !!!
Derek and Jean Bonham, Peter and Muriel Molsher, Bobby Newbury and I defeated Crondall Panthers, on their inclined terrain, 5-4 on Monday afternoon, 9 May.
Peter and Muriel played resolutely, reversing their opening 9-13 defeat in the first game, to win by the same score in their second game. They then won their third game, timed out leading 10-8.
Jean and Derek won their first game 13-8, but suffered a fanny from Crondall's No1 pair in their second game. They bounced back from this to win their third game 13-11.
At this point the match was won, with only a one win contribution from Bobby and me.
We started well, elated to win our first game 13-6 from 6-0 down, but deteriorated from there as the slope wore us down!
Playing their No 1 pair in the last game I shot, and missed, with our last boule with 1-13 on the ground. Sorry Bobby.
