NEWS RELEASE – 21 October 2012

 

INTER COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Cornwall’s short mat bowls teams travelled to Exeter on Sunday (21 October) to face Devon in the latest round of Inter County Championship fixtures.

 

The Premier Team were always expected to face an uphill task against a Devon team that had scored 70 out of a possible 80 points in their opening two fixtures.  The opening session, the morning Singles and Pairs proved pointless for Cornwall as Devon claimed all four mats.  Cornwall earned a share of the points in the second session with Graham Ford, Brenda Sleep & Brian Wakeley winning 13-8 in the Triples and Elise Daniell, Derek Elliott, Linda Martin and Gerald Fisher taking a 13-4 win in the Fours.  At the half way point in the match Cornwall trailed by 4 points to 12 and 73 shots to 100.

 

The third session, the afternoon Singles and Pairs were again dominated by Devon winning three out of four games, Graham Reeves and Nicholas Truscott earning a hard fought 14-12 win in the Pairs to add two points to Cornwall’s score.  Cornwall claimed a further two points in the final session, the afternoon Triples and Fours, with Gerald Fisher’s Four completing a double on the day with a 9-6 win.  The final match score being Devon 32 points 22 shots 8 points 129 shots.  Dorset’s 32-8 home win over Somerset sees them overtake Cornwall in second place in the table.

St Minver Charity Competition

On Sunday 5^th August a charity Short Mat Bowls Competition was held at St. Minver SMBC in memory of Tony Watson who passed away in August 2010.  The event was held to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support who helped Tony through the last few months of his life.

There was a great turn out of teams, some travelling from as far as Sidbury in Devon to play.  Throughout the day £680.00 was raised for the charity.

The group stages saw only one team winning all their games and sailing through to the final with 6 points plus 8 shots which was Blisland.   They were up against the team from Sidbury who had 5 points plus 4 shots.   

The final was a great game with the score being 7-7 with two ends to play.  Sidbury dropped a count of 4 on the penultimate end which left them a lot of work to do.  Sidbuy decided to play an attacking strategy whereas Blisland could afford to play a sensible game and continued to add bowls to the head.  Sidbury picked up 2 on the last end which left the score 9-11 to Blisland.

The day was a great success, everyone had a good time and ultimately raised lots of money for Macmillan Cancer Support.  The Watson family would like to thank everyone for their participation and making the day enjoyable for all involved.  Also thanks to Nathan Outlaw, Sharps Brewery, Julian Foye, Eden Project, Crealy, Sainsburys and Tesco for their kind donations.
