Over 50’s Regional SF

National over 50 triples area semifinal. 29/1/2025
Paul Causer, Dave Ferguson and Ian Honnor faced a very experienced side from Deangate Ridge.
Although the side from Deangate got off to a good start by taking 3 shots on the first end, once the home side won the next end and played a longer length jack they were up and running. The away side struggled with the longer length, especially due to playing on a green which played at a slower pace than their own green. Our home side realised this quickly and capitalised by playing the longer length and quickly pulled ahead.
With Paul having a solid performance leading, it left Dave who also showed his experience by backing it up with a solid game (which was even more impressive by him playing with a new set of bowls which took a totally different line to his previous set). Ian also locked on to the longer length early and with the head of bowls always being in the home teams favour it helped in that when the away side found themselves holding shot, there was always options for him to convert into a winning end. Again, when needed, Ian stepped up and showed his class by playing those crucial shots exceptionally well which demoralised their opponents. A all round good team performance which showed in the overall winning score of 23-11.
The next round, being the area final, will be played on a neutral venue (opponents to be confirmed). If Oyster continue their run of wins further, they will then progress to the national finals which is played at Nottingham.
