Last Sunday Oyster hosted Betteshangar IBC in a National ‘Top Club’ competition, which comprises of 11 players (6 men, 5 ladies), in the following disciplines: Two Wood Singles (Ladies and Men), Pairs, Triples and Rinks.
The visitors got off to a good start winning both the men’s (20-21) and ladies singles (15-21), but this was soon negated by our pairs team (24-12). Our rinks team fought a really good game, eventually drawing (16-16), so after more then 3 hours of play the two clubs were tied on 6 points each, which meant the match would be decided by the triples team, who, going into the final end, were just 1 shot up. Everyone gathered around Rink 5 for the final end excitement. After some excellent draw bowls and some narrow ‘firing’ shots, Oyster managed to hold their nerve and win the last end by 2 shots, (20-17), and more importantly another 4 points, which meant Oyster won the whole match 10-6. Congratulations to all.
Men (L to R): Ian Honnor, Dex Weyand, Ken Weyand, Dave Ferguson, Joe Vanderpeer, Adam Lawrence.
Ladies (L to R): Sian Honnor, Sue Swan, Lin Riches, Sandie Bartlett, Yvonne Gambrill.
