We played 4 triples on a lovely warm afternoon at Thame and the sky was so clear that we had a wonderful demonstration of flying by the numerous Red Kites.

As in the last 2 years we once again came out on top by 67 shots to 49.

  • Our highest winning rink was Harry Ardill, John Thorogood and John Gomersall with an impressive win by 24 shots to 10.
  • 2 of our other triples also came out on top with John Jenkins, Stephen Church and Cliff Geary winning by 14 shots to 10 and Fiona Reese, Richard Russell and Roger Hayman winning 13 to 11.
  • Our one losing rink was Mick Bigby, Sheila Cadge and John Gilbey. They did however manage to pull back from 14 to 2 down after 9 ends and win 7 of the last 9 ends to just be pipped by 16 shots to 18.

Thame’s president played in a very impressive electric wheelchair named “Bowls Royce”
All in all a splendid and successful afternoon.
