Reports Basildon "B"

Billericay Bowling Club Reports Basildon "B"

16th May - Home v Memorial Park - LOSE 46 v 60 (2 League Points)

Another fine dry evening with the green bowling well.

Rink 1 - Colin Banner, Paul Maybury & Winston Lansiquot (skip)
A tough game is which we were playing catch-up for most of the match.  After losing five of the first seven ends, we caught up and two shots on the 8th end followed by three shots on the 9th brought us level at 7:7 after nine ends.  Unfortunately, only able to win three ends in the second half and losing three shots on the 11th and 13th ends, four shots on the 12th end and five shots on the 15th end sealed our fate.
Final Result 12:14, winning 7 ends.

Rink 2 - Heather Steggles, David Barrett & Mike Seviour (skip)
An evenly matched game throughout.  After losing two shots on the first end, we won four shots on the second end to take the lead which we retained until Memorial Park regained it on the 9th end.  The scores remained close and were still level at 15:15 after 15 ends.  On the 16th end, Heather trailed the jack to within one metre of the ditch to be holding two shots, but the opposition skip managed to defy the sloping edge of our green to claim a single shot! Grrrr!
Final Result 15:18, winning 8 ends.

Rink 3 - Helen White, Catherine Barrett & Roy Green (skip)
After winning just two of the first seven ends to be 3:8 down, a magnificent six shots on the 8th end, followed by two shots on the 9th end gave us the lead. However, scoring only one shot over the next six ends, we were 12:18 down with just three ends to play.  Winning three shots on the 16th and 17th ends brought us level at 18:18 on the 17th end.  A single shot on the final end secured a valuable two league points for the team.
Final Result 19:18, winning 8 ends.

Well done everyone.  Although a loss, the outcome could easily have been different.

8th May - Away v Pitsea Riverview 'C'  -  WIN 56 v 34 (7 League Points)

A fine dry evening.  A good green, although it didn't turn much on some rinks.  Playing into a strong setting sun in one direction and long shadows made it 'interesting' at times!

Rink 1 - Helen White, David Barrett and Mike Seviour (skip)
An evenly matched game in which we led throughout except on the 6th end when Pitsea scored 4 shots to briefly take the lead. Although Pitsea only won 7 ends, they scored several threes and a four which kept them in the game right up to the final end.
Final Result 18:16, winning 11 ends.

Rink 2 - Chris White, Colin Banner & Winston Lansiquot (skip)
A strong performance, winning six of the first nine ends to lead 10:3 at half time.  Our steady scoring continued through the second half to produce a well-deserved result.
Final Result 17:7, winning 12 ends.

Rink 3 - Catherine Barrett, Roy Green & Paul Maybury (skip)
Also a strong performance in which we allowed Pitsea to win only one end to lead 17:1 at half time.  Pitsea recovered (proving it really does all change after tea!!) in the second half by winning three shots on the 10th end, followed by several two shot wins to make their score more respectable.
Final Result 21:11, winning 12 ends.

Once again, WELL DONE team!!

1st May - Home v Brentwood  -  WIN 50 v 49 (5 League Points)

A fine dry evening. The green was moderately heavy with long jacks proving challenging for some bowlers.

Rink 1 - Chris White, Colin Banner & Paul Maybury (skip)
A game of mixed fortunes, notable for intermittent heavy scoring by both teams.  After 9 ends, Brentwood led 10-9, before Billericay scored 3 on the 10th to give us the lead for the first time.  However, losses of 5 shots on the 11th end and 7 shots on the 13th end left us with an uphill battle which despite winning 4 shots on the 15th end, proved too much.
Final Result 18:27, winning 7 ends.

Rink 2 - Lorraine Colla, Catherine Barrett & Dave Aggio (skip)
After a worrying start, losing the first five ends, we then won the following five ends to be level at 7:7 after 10 ends. Steady scoring by both teams left Billericay leading 14:13 after 17 ends.  On the final end, with just one wood remaining, Brentwood were holding 3 shots.  Dave used his final wood to great effect by firing, giving us the final end by 1 shot!
Final Result 15:13, winning 10 ends

Rink 3 - Helen White, David Barrett & Mike Seviour (skip)
No heavy scoring by either team in this game, a feature of which was the tussle between David and his opposite number two as they continually matched each other shot-for-shot !  Brentwood won the first end before we pulled back level by the 4th end.  A string of seven Billericay wins left Brentwood able to score only two shots betwen the 4th and 16th ends.
Final Result 17:9, winning 12 ends.

Well done team! An excellent start to our Division 3 campaign!
