A WALK OVER AND A LOSS
Oakley Bowling Club
Last night at Loddon Vale, the Oakley "A" team of Ric Newson, Alice Lovett, Bob Goodyear and Fred Norris should have played Loddon Vale in their third game in the Cusheon Trophy but the host team did not turn up so Oakley will presumably be given the points. With one game to play in the Group the "A" team remain undefeated and top their Group.
The "B" team did, however, play and against a Basingstoke Town rink skipped by Keith McEwan had a poor start trailing 2-6 after 5 ends and 4-15 after 10. A heavy defeat looked likely, as the team of Vera Rhodes, Jim Fitzgerald, John Yarrall and John Wilson went into the 16th end 7-20 down, but a strong rally, over the closing stages saw Oakley saw Oakley score 10 shots to the Town's 3 and go down finally 17-23
The final group games are due to be played next Saturday 10th March
