With transport short I picked up my motley crew of Gilly, Dave and new girl Maureen. After turning Kanye West off for fear of offending Maureen I quickly turned it back on to drown out the salty language.
The A team turned up in force to support our club mates and we weren’t let down for entertainment.
Cat took the green at number 1. In between Cat's travelling the globe she also bowls and a fine player she is. Dora explored the whole green at the Drum and found every inch to her liking as she took an impressive victory to 12.
Fast Eddie was up next against a man who doesn’t shave very well. Eddie stuck to his game plan but it wasn’t enough to beat Arthur Beard who left Eddie on 16
The demise of Horny Horn blower has been greatly exaggerated. Yes Bob’s delivery has been hindered by his recent illness but ever stubborn and obdurate Bob stuck in there for a decent card of 12. Just think what he could do if his woods weren’t square
Dave Evans got unlucky with the draw getting the always quality Danny Keenan. Butch worked hard though and despite his relative inexperience bowled well, taking the few chances he got and earned an excellent 12
14 down after four
Gilly took the green at number 5 and the heavens opened, with his opponent flying and bowling really well both players sought sanctuary off the green - strangely they didn’t stand under cover - but after a drinks break they returned to the green where things carried on in a similar vein with Gill scrambling up to 4.
Maureen Meldrum was at 6 and this was the first time I had met Mo let alone seen her bowl. Mo though has now been christened Mighty Mo as she stormed to a quality win to 7, she wasn’t even phased when her opponent put his underpants on his head and started shouting wibble .
CJ took to the green at number 7, the natural home for all captains (and Wiggly), and started the game in brilliant fashion before holding of a spirited fight back to win 20
Rounding out the second four was Alan "John Boy" Walton. Alan is a natural and if he played more often would be a major asset to the club. The Rover,n not content with messing the road up and making driving around the Olton a chore, also steal our bowlers. A curse on you Land Rover!!!.
Alan said goodnight to his opponent and the Walton’s with a win to 12.
7 down with the last four on
Dave Lowe continued his 25 year goodbye tour with a great win over the always stylish Ted Seeley to 17. We think the score was 21 -17 but the card markers were having such a good chat they missed half of the ends and suspicions are rife it was actually 37-36.
Karen stormed into her game liking a Viking pillaging a poor northern town, winning to 13.
John Lloyd and Pete Greenhill were 11 and 12 and both put in strong performances against good bowlers, both finishing with 18 leaving us agonisingly short of a shock away win - losing by one shot. How about we call it a draw?
Exciting times though for the juniors considering the side was picked with both Dingleys, Neelesh, Steve Myatt and Bucko all missing. If we ever get the full side out we could be onto something.
