EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB
Monday found the Raiders entertaining Montemar Matadors, on a splendid morning with a strong wind, which continually changed direction. The Raiders had a good day, taking the rinks 3-2 and the overall shots. Tony Abbott, Rose Passmore and Dave Haynes 14-22. Ron Greenstreet, Judy Foley and Jim Eastwood 19-13. Chris Ziepe, Deckie Coleman and John Ziepe 11-19. Ann Abbott, Sheila Cox and Keith Longshaw 19-18. Trevor Witcher, Derek Barker and Diane Yates 25-12.
On Wednesday the Rustlers played host to Greenlands Gladiators, it was a good fun match, but the Gladiators proved to be too strong for the Rustlers, but as we know the skill of the opponents can often distort one’s perception of ours.
Friday brought Greenlands Cedars to El Rancho to play the Mustangs, alas despite good play all round, the Mustangs took just the one rink. But as normal we enjoyed the match and played our best on the day, which is all that matters. Bowlers of all levels are welcome at El Rancho. Contact secerbc@gmail.com

Within the team we had mixed fortunes, Jean Cooper’s team of Joy & Brian Gardiner, had a close game but with a super shot from Jean, with her last bowl, taking out their opponent’s shot wood for 4 shots and a 2 shot win: 16-14. Mary & Phil Lockley & Brian Miller were so close, just finishing 14-16. Our other 2 teams had one of those days when their only luck was bad luck and seemingly great shots just did not stay, or finish as expected!
