Farnham & District Finals
The 2023 F & D Finals were held at our club with us well represented. The sun shone & the green looked great & played as it looked.
Mytchett won the Boyd shield on the Saturday defeating Tongham.
On the Sunday Sheila & Rachel fought valiantly but went down to a strong Cove team in the Ladies Pairs. Sheila made up for this by winning the mixed pairs with Michael in a game they dominated & repelled a late fightback from their Farnham opposition.
In the team games we were in 3 finals & all 3 went to virtually the last bowl before the winners were decided.
In the Mixed Triples against Mytchett we were leading for a large part of the game on one rink but losing on the other. By the last end both games were close & both rinks managed to win by 1 shot.
The Ken Britton cup looked like finding its way to Cove as they held a comfortable lead with a few ends to go but Farnborough’s never say die attitude saw us pick up a 6 on one rink & a 4 on the other to make it a nail biting finish. With a 3 shot win in one rink & a 2 shot loss on the other we won by the narrowest of margins.
The day finished with the closest of finishes in the Goolding Cup with both rinks finishing in a tie. Mytchett won the extra end on a close measure but a brave Farnborough team left the green with heads held high.
Christine Lee Cup 27th August
Yesterday saw the second running of the Christine Lee Cup. This was introduced as a mark of honour to Christine Lee who very sadly passed away in July 2022. This year the winner was Pam with Nora a fine 2nd.
