SHOCK INDOOR WIN FOR OAKLEY

Today Oakley travelled to Winchester for a friendly against Riverside Indoor Bowling Club. For indoor games we always travel more in hope than expectation and perhaps more so today with half the team not being indoor players. After 5 ends Riverside had an 8 shot lead but to everyone' surprise the momentum began to go Oakley's way and soon after half way we had a 17 shot lead. Traditionally in indoor games Oakley fall away in the last half dozen ends and, as Riverside reduced the deficit to 4 shots, it looked as if that tradition would be maintained. This time, however, it was Oakley that prevailed as the Club recorded a rare indoor victory and by one of our biggest ever margins - 32 shots.
