We now have 9 points and are still supporting the league.

 

Senior Citizens Match Report 4th July

In contrast to last week we were met with overcast conditions at Bantham and Ongar. As everyone was there early we started before 2pm which was just as well as the heavens soon began showering us with rain. We bravely carried on to complete the necessary 10 ends for a match. Several of our side had not played on an artificial green before and everyone stoically carried on through the rain. Back in the club house we were revived with tea and biscuits and pleasant chatter.

We lost on all four rinks, one of them by just one shot. Shots were

Griffin 17 and Bantham and Ongar 56.

We still have 9 points and are still supporting the league.

We now have 10 points and continue to support the league.

I would like to thank everyone who has played this season and hope you have enjoyed your bowling. I am proud of how everyone has bowled this season and how our new bowlers have grown and become a great addition to the Senior Citizens.
