Valencian Championships - another bad day at the office

Ladies back on the green today at Emerald Isle and we were playing the same team who beat us in the trips.  We had Mel Highland with us and they had Gina Streeter with them.

This proved to be a close game with only 24 shots scored over the 18 ends played.  The Emerald Isle ladies were always just in the lead and no matter what we did we couldn't get on level terms with them.  On the 17th end we were holding 4 until June played her last bowl and rolled in for 2nd, leaving us needing 5 on the final end.  With no chance of scoring the 5 shots needed we decided to try to kill the end and have another attempt, but I just missed the jack and we conceded a further shot to lose 15-9.

News came through that Keith Roberts & Mal Hughes, the last San Luis mens pairs had been pipped by Derek Toozer & Bill Pain of Greenlands.

The men still have singles and triples to play but the ladies are down to only pairs.  Mel & Shirley play at San Miguel on Sunday morning whilst Sheila & I are same time at Emerald Isle.  We are more confident about the pairs having played 2 practice games against Allen & Mike - but we will have to wait and see if our confidence comes through.

Allen plays singles tomorrow afternoon - report tomorrow.
