The juniors, wounded from their loss by 1 at Drakes Drum, pulled together in true Taverner fashion with the will and determination to have their revenge.
First four out of the blocks what would the outcome be.....
Our Maureen bowled well and fought her battle valiantly but was eventually beaten 17.
The Messiah had a bit of a rocky start then just as he was on his way to victory his opponent stepped up his game and beat The Messiah to 16.
Eddie the Eagle stalked his pray and won to a very respectable 13.
Mr Horn was on fire each end had it's own hustles and bustles and he romped home with a win to 9.
Score board Tavern 75 Drakes Drum 64
This picture is misleading. Steve isn't far taller than Allan, he is just very close to the camera, and Allan is very far away - Ed
The first four had put us 11 in front
Middle four set out to to strengthen our lead...... go... go... go....
The Butch was his usual fashion conscious self playing in his PJ's but he definitely wasn't ready for bed as he beat his opponent to 15.
John Boy Walton was his usual calm and collected cool dude self who also won to 15.
These boys like to stick together.

I myself started off at a good pace then my opponent started to pull back but I eventually won to 14.
Bucko, fresh back from the spanish sun fought hard but was beaten to 11.
Score board Tavern 149 Drakes Drum 129
The second four had put us 20 in front.... come on you last four..... bring us home
Lloydy on at number 9 had a tough match with his opponent playing exceptionally well with most bowls no more than 6 to 8 inches away and in my opinion Lloydy had the drummers best bowler today and worked hard only to be beaten to 3.
No wonder Lloydy lost - look at that slope!!! - ED
Score board Tavern 152 Drakes Drum 150
Our lead had dwindled from being 20 in front to just 2 in front..... come on you Taverner's....... go... go... go...
Lowie was off to a great start and as the game progressed his opponent started to fight back but Lowie fought on and won to 18.
Score board Tavern 173 Drakes Drum 168
Taverner's were now 5 in front with Peter and Henry on the green and they were both fighting hard for their wins.
Peter lost his fight to be beaten 13 so it was now up to Henry to try and bring us home.... come on H.... you can do it
Score board Tavern 186 Drakes Drum 189
Tavern were behind for the first time in the match but they were only behind by 3 so it was still all to play for - we just needed Henry to beat his opponent to 18.
Henry was behind and started to come back at their skipper and he won 21-19
Score board Tavern 207 Drakes Drum 208
Lost by one for the second week in a row - OMG
A valiant effort by all and in a true Taverner's spirit we congratulated the drummers on another great match.
