On Saturday, August, 11, Merrow played host to Ewhurst for a friendly match of three triples.

With the end of the recent heatwave, the day was overcast and cool, with the threat of rain ever-present.

The match was played in good spirits on both sides, but Ewhurst were soon in the ascendancy. We had a welcome break for tea at the half-way stage, with delicious cakes provided by Debbie going down a treat.

Merrow verses Ewhurst.

After tea, Merrow started to fight back. However, the fates decreed that Ewhurst would win overall with a score of 35-58.

Well done to Merrow’s team of Sue, Mike, and Colin, who managed to overcome their opposition, winning 19-16.

Our latest midweek match was at home against Puttenham on Wednesday, August 15.

That bowl was rather short!

Three rinks of triples were played. The afternoon was cloudy but warm, making for good bowling conditions.

Puttenham proved to be strong opponents, but Merrow managed to win well on two rinks, with rink three losing by a single point. Merrow were victors by 56-36, with the captain’s rink of Ken, Brian T, and Brian R being our top rink with a score of 25-13.
