It's the Citeh game tomorrow, 89th minute and somehow it's 0-0.
I want to think of me writing this - and put a picture in your head of Dan James being put through on goal 1 on 1 with only the keeper to beat, put finger peg on that bowl and it's gonna do one of those last second rollovers onto the Jack.

What could go wrong pal ? Best of luck.
Thank you Kennyb :tup:

That usually sorts everything out :)

Think like that and you will he fine

:ok:
Great advice, Cjay

I'm feeling calm already just thinking of Leeds on the break with his little legs going like the clappers culminating in Ali scoring a goal 8-) remember those times, of course you do :-D

Thank you!

Limited ability, worked like a Trojan, never say die attitude, endless energy, could and would pop up anywhere.

Not too bad, Swannie.

After a slow start, our rink pulled back on the last few ends, losing our game 15-17

Our other two rinks won, overall we won the match 64-44

8 points to Hutton Cranswick :-D
2 points to Sledmere (who are an excellent team in this neck of the woods)

Well done :)

Ah, Sledmere. Brings back memories. We used to stop there for ice cream on our way to and from Flamborough Head when I was a little girl.....my Nan and Grandad had a bungalow there. Flamborough, one of my fave places on this earth :-D

Like yourself Swannie, we live in a lovely part of the UK, both Sledmere & Flamborough have bowls clubs.

We ate at The Seabirds in Flamborough a few months ago, The Triton pub at Sledmere is nice!

Re: Bowls - Indoor Season Finally Over!

Post by 1964white »

After holidays/covid had delayed our Indoor Bowls Pairs Final, we finally got it played last night

Graham T & myself won comfortably 25-9 :-D two trophies in the bag plus a beaten Singles semi-finalists.

Over the moon with securing that victory, overall an excellent season for me.

Now I can concentrate on the Outdoor game during the summer months.

1964white wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 9:21 am For near on twenty years, I've played outdoor bowls for Middleton-on-the-Wolds.

Sadly due to the loss of many members over the years for various reasons, we haven't got enough members to fulfil two of the three of the leagues we compete in, which a real shame for our long-standing bowls club. For now, one of the leaser leagues will continue, one I don't participate in. Currently, we only have 14 members

We have no problem with the Indoors bowls as we seem to be attracting more members from other local clubs every year, membership standing at 60 this season. The Indoor Bowls subsidises the Outdoor game, so at least we still have a club operating seven days a week during the autumn/winter months.

I had a few options to consider where I play outdoor bowls in the future. I approached my pal Billy (he initially got me into bowls) who lives in our village & have signed up to Cranswick Bowls Club on a free of course. Billy, Andy, Janet, Nick all use to play at Middleton in years gone by plus I know many other bowlers down there, so it was an obvious choice imo! Also, they are a progressive club winning many trophies of late with a lovely green, much easier than the Middleton surface which was hard work at times.

Billy's words to me when I signed up, "at last we've got you at Cranswick after many years of asking"

Anyway, I'm over the moon, looking forward to a new challenge after what was a poor outdoor season for me personally & the MOTW club last season.

Can't wait.... :-D

Massive indoor match this afternoon v Jack High from Sledmere Bowls Club. We are just above them in the table, should we beat them for a third time this season, I would think the league title is in the bag. Not counting my chickens yet, as it will no doubt be a nail-biting game!
Always wanted to have a go at bowls. It looks like an interesting game.

My new indoor triples team The Three Leos going well.

We need to beat my good pal John & his Quickfire team to give us any chance of winning our local Triples League.

A passion of mine for the last twenty years, particularly Indoor Bowls.

A compulsive game once you have given it a go.
