Weekly Round Up of First Team Matches

May 15th

Friday saw us play our third game of the season against local rivals Fareham seeing the return of a handful of former Rowner bowlers. The weather tried to play a part a few hours before with a deluge of rain but the green is in fine mettle and was cleared to play. The game was a very tight affair and the Rowner boys pulled trough right at the end to win the game by 2 shots overall 65-63, with 2 winning rinks and 2 losing rinks. The scores were:

P Pinder 18 - 20 C Bailey

C Hay 15-13 D Bishop

G Coles 12-23 W Ross

M Sweetenham 20-7 C Friend

May 8th:

Our second game of the season had us make an away trip to Leigh Park, there was some trepidation after the combination team had visited on the Wednesday night before and the report of the green was not great. But, when we got there the sight that met us was a bit better than expected, and a freshly cut green awaited us.

This obviously inspired the team, as we manged to come away with all rinks winning and a 16-0 result in our favour. 

Scores for the evening were as follows:

G Coles 22 - 3 M Street

B Stafford 15 - 14 E Theobold

P Pinder 19 - 9 J Ward

M Sweetenham 19 - 15 B Cope

May 1st - Rowner vs Vospers

Well, the first league game of the season came round and all optimism was on show for the first team. Unfortunately, good fortune was not shining on us as we lost the game by 85 shots to 62, with only one rink winning, the score were as follows:

G Coles 12-19 S Sunderland

M Sweetenham 24 -19 D Boswell

P Pinder 16-19 R Politsz

M Butler 10-28 T Smith
