The flag was flying again at Merrow as we welcomed Castle Green for our first friendly match of the summer.

Due to a short team from the visitors we played one pairs and one singles match. Luckily the threatening rain did not arrive. John Wills won his singles match comfortably 30-7. The pairs was a close run thing and came down to the final end with the skips battling it out for honours. In the end Debbie and David won 14 -10 thanks to an inspired shot by David which removed the Castle Green bowl from the head. Castle Green’s skip then narrowly failed to get shot with the last bowl which would have leveled the game.

Brian Taylor, Ken Webb and Jean came to spectate and it was an enjoyable afternoon all round.
