FINALS DAY RESULTS 2025. Triples
Report By Paul Riseborough
This
year's Triples Final was was a very low scoring but closely contested
match. Team B6 (Steve Field, Chin Tory and Paul Riseborough) got off to a
good start against Team A2 (Rae Glenn, Tricia Jeffreys and Jeff Tebbutt)
leading 4-1 after 4 ends but by end 11 the score was 8-8.
The lead then changed hands almost every end until as
expected the score was 12-12 after 17 ends.
So it was to be a last end shoot out.
Team B6 went two up but this was reduced to one as play
progressed, but B6 held on to win the match 13-12.
A close run thing!
PAIRS
Report
by Pete Moss
Today’s
final was the culmination of some tough and close matches in earlier
rounds and saw Pete Moss & Norman Leslie pitched against Derek Gilder
and Sue Douglas. There were not that many ends where measures were needed
but it took almost 3 hours to complete. It was nip and tuck throughout
with many ends decided by a single shot. Derek and Sue edged these
exchanges with Pete and Norman playing catch up. There was a critical end
late on when Derek spotted the potential of moving the jack with Pete and
Norman holding shot. Derek placed a wood beyond the jack where Sue’s
wood was sitting and followed up with a cracking delivery to take the jack
back and end up with a three. The
game was played in a great friendly spirit and the deserved winners over
the 18 ends were Derek & Sue by 16 shots to 14.
Singles
Report
by Jeff Tebbutt
The
game started with both players learning the nature of the rink, but Robin
was in a rich vein of form and Paul didn't have a point on the board for 6
ends. Paul did then manage to score and the game seemed to be moving
towards him when he scored a 4 on one end. He looked set for another point
when he sent a bowl to six inches in front of the jack but Robin's next
bowl squeezed between his bowl and the jack. The game proceeded like this
with Paul making a gain and Robin taking it back and both players playing
some incredible shots. Robin finally triumphed getting the 21 points
needed. Well done
TEMBEY.
This
game was played the day after Finals Day between Paul Riseborough and
Norman Leslie and was a very close run affair, After 17 ends the score was
12-12 with both player playing reasonably well but Norman held his nerve
to take the last end by one and win 13-12.
HAROLD
HARDY
Each
player has four bowls and the match is played as the best of three
sets. The first player to score 7
wins the set.
This
game was between John Atkinson against one of our newbies this year Steve
Bush. John Won 2-0 but credit to Steve for reaching a Final in his first
year.
OVER
75's
Finalists
this year were John Atkinson & Jim Mustoe. This
competition is played over 12 ends with each player having 3 bowls each.
They
both had good games and Jim was up by 6 points after 2 ends. John then
won a few ends but couldn't catch Jim who ended up winning 12-9.

TROPHY This
game takes place after Finals Day with Robin Edmett and Derek Guilder
taking part. It is the winner of the singles Versus the winner of the
singles last year. Report
by Barbara Gilder
Robin got off to a very good start scoring 1 or 2 in the first few
ends. Robin then picked up a 4 giving him a nice lead ( need to
look at score card)
Derek began to creep back with a few ones. I think at one point ( at
about end 10/11) Robin was leading 11 - 4 or 5..Derek then
made a good come back picking up some 2's and a 4
Robin was then holding the lead 19 Derek in 17
With a last great effort from Robin he picked up a 2 which gave him the
match
Robin 21 Derek 17
