El Rancho Bowls
Monday morning found the Raiders at home against Greenlands Chestnuts with a calm start, and a breeze picking up and altering the hoped for lines. Alas the Raiders took one rink with 3 being close to the end, our rink came nowhere near close despite winning several rinks by just the one shot. Sue Ziepe, Jean Coleman and Steve Ziepe 15-20. Derek Barker, Malc Sykes and Diane Yates 9-27. Ria Dukker, Mags Higgins and Dave Haynes 17-20. Ann Abbott, Mick Higgins and Tony Abbott 13-17. Trevor Witcher, Keith Longshaw and Ron Greenstreet 20-11.
On Wednesday the Rustlers made the long tiring drag to Benitachell to play their Bandits, added to being against a strong team made it a difficult if fun match. The Rustlers conceded one rink and came second in the others.
On Friday morning the Mustangs were at La Marina and although play was close, La Marina took the rinks 4-1, with use of the home advantage. Bowlers of all levels are welcome at El Rancho. Contact secerbc@gmail.com
