It was great to get back outside playing bowls and the weather proved very kind as it remained mostly sunny and relatively mild the whole afternoon.
We played 6 mixed triples against Bicester. At about half way through the match I did a quick tot up of the score and it was exactly equal overall.
Unfortunately 2 of our triples who had good leads at the time were pegged back and in the end we could only win by one shot on one rink and by 6 shots on another rink whilst losing on the other 4 rinks.
Overall it was a very similar result from last years as we went down by 79 shots to 109. Our highest winning triple was Fiona Reese, Stephen Church and Richard Russell.
Our new member, Richard Bevan, played his first match for the club.
