Another really hot day and at El Rancho the two remaining mens triples lost. Mal Hughes team went down to Roy Cordell - Emerald Isle and Derrick Coopers team lost to the in form Russell Marks - San Miguel.
Over at Emerald Isle Sheila & I were playing the Ladies Pairs semi final against last years champions Shirley Verity & Sheila Cammack of Country Bowls.
We didn't get off to a good start and after 3 ends we were 5-0 down. Over the next 4 ends we pulled back to 5 all. From then on it was honours even and after 16 ends the score was 13-13. On the next end Shirley bowled 4 brilliant bowls but only held 1 shot thanks to a close bowl from Sheila. Sheila Cammack bowled her first bowl and tucked the jack round to give them 4 shots. With my first bowl I played a weighted wood and connected with the jack, moving it to our bowl - 1 shot up, Sheila tried to draw with her remaining 3 bowls but was heavy with each and I managed to draw 2 into the head to give us 3 and 16-13 up playing the final end. After the leads had bowled we were 2 shots down. I managed to get us a shot bowl and then we just needed to stop them scoring 3 and having covered the back bowls they were left with only 1 option - kill the end. Sheila bowled and missed and we had won.
Big thanks to Rod & Maxine Wright who were our only supporters other than Allen.
The other semi final was being played on the next rink to us and was another close game with Maggie Lawley & Yvonne Briden of Benitachell just holding on to beat Bobbie Sims & Averil Toozer of Greenlands.
The final between us and Maggie & Yvonne will be played on Saturday.
