Valencian Championships - Victory at last

Today Sheila & I were playing pairs at Emerald Isle against Carolyn Harris & Maggie Furness of El Rancho.
This started off as a close game with both sides trading shots.  Then a crucial end where Sheila & I scored a 3 followed by a 4 on the next end to give us a cushion.  The ends were always tight but if we didnt win the end it was usually only a single.  Having secured the match at the conclusion of the 17th there was no need to play the final end as we were 9 shots up, but rather than carry the bowls back we decided to bowl them.  Good job they couldn't win as we dropped a 6, but we put that down to not needing to get close - thats our story and we are sticking to it.
No news about the mens singles with Mal Hughes, Phil Morrachan & John Withers in action at El Rancho and Colin Highland at Greenlands.  Likewise no news about Mel & Shirleys match at San Miguel.
Tomorrow morning we play against Jenny Chaplin & Ann Horswell of Country Bowls.
