MONDAY BLUES
With Oakley representatives, in the Monday evening quarter finals of both the men's and ladies County Two Bowl Singles, it was hoped one, at least, would qualify for Leamington. It was not to be. Ashley Nethercliffe had a narrow lead almost throughout his match but opponent Danny Russell of Fareham came back to pip Ashley 14 -13. Heather Statham had initially more success leading throughout her quarter final against Laura Scarborough of Bridgemary and eventually triumphing 16-11. Heather's run came to a halt in the semi final. In the early stages she matched opponent Laura Kitcher of King's Park but upping her game Laura peppered the jack and ran out an 18-11 winner. It will have been a disappointing evening for both our players but they are to be congratulated on getting so far in the competition.
