10th March Spoon Drive
BEDFORDSHIRE VPs MATCH REPORT MARCH 10th 2024
The final match of the indoor season was played on March 10th 2024 at Bedford Boro I.B.C. Now this match was scheduled to be the Ladies v Gents but unfortunately players becoming unavailable it was decided to try something new called a Spoon Drive. As this was going to be a new experience for some of our players including myself it was felt that it would be a good way of mixing up players and getting to know some of your fellow bowlers.
We needed some equipment and when Robin and Fiona Mowe heard about our requirements they said that they can get what we need and would organise the event. Thanks to them both the afternoon was a great success.
We had 23 players available which was considerably lower than the original nominees but this did not deter Robin who sorted out the teams teams. With 8 teams playing 3 games of 5 ends per game the afternoon went by very quickly with lots of laughs and good humour. You also had to keep a running total of your team score in addition to your 3 opponents score. Despite some slightly spoilt score cards the winner was announced which was Fiona Mowe. Taff Roberts and Mick Curtis with a score of + 16. but close on their heels was Sue Glennon, Robin Mowe and Geoff Bell with+13 so many congratulations and well done to all of them.
Tea and biscuits/ cake was provided following the game although some players had something stronger while they were awaiting the declaration of the results. A great afternoon was had by all.
