JAVEA GREEN BOWLS

Week ending 10 September 2011.

JAVEA GREEN BOWLS CLUB

The Iberian Open competitions sponsored by CHURCH KITCHENS SL and GINESTAR have been taking place throughout the week and are now reaching the semi finals stages. The standard of play throughout the competition has been very high, with some remarkable surprises along the way. On Sunday it was the Men’s and Ladies Rinks. Probably against all odds, the Ladies Rinks team of Pat Pittaway, Maureen Barrie, Jane Lapthorn and Pauline Bishop won their game against a very strong team. Similarly, Ritva McAuliffe, Olive Lutz, Sheila Nicholson and Jill Nobbs were highly delighted with their win.

Meanwhile, Phil Woodhead, Dave Carvath Tony Crease and John Coates staged an exciting fight back on the 16th end in the Men’s rinks with a 6 shot to level the score, having dragged themselves up from what appeared to be an impossible score line earlier in the game. The win, however was not to be and they went down in the last 2 ends.

The Club are indebted to Bill Barrie, who dealt with the logistical nightmare of putting together the competition. With 130 games to organise in the first week and managing to keep everything running smoothly is testament to his organisational ability. Thanks Bill.

We are now back to our normal time of 10am start for Club Mornings.
