Sunday 9th September was the day of the Nell Rumble Trophy, Farnborough Bowls Club’s two wood triples competition.
Eight teams entered and a draw took place to see who was in each of the two leagues; the winners of each league would then play each other in the final.
Geoff Chadd, Anne Hellier and Diane Hill won League A. Barry Lee, Christine Lee and John Raison won League B by not dropping a point.
Barry Lee’s team got off to good start in the final by building a good lead. Anne’s team started to pull it back and were two points down going into the last end. They were holding three until John Raison draw in for 2nd wood. Anne’s only option was to try to dislodge the opponents wood but unfortunately she was off the target and moved the wrong bowl to give Barry’s team the shot. The final result 11 – 8 to Barry’s team.
A big thanks to all of the competitors and particularly to Martin for organising another flawless competition day.
Thanks to all for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Especially Martin for his impeccable organisation (how does he do it?).Well done my team of Diddy Di and Geoff we nearly pulled it off. I blame my failure to contribute in the last 2 games on the sumptious lunch! Note to self:- don’t eat so much next time.
Another great day at FBC, thanks to the organisers and to everyone who contributed with the food, great buffet, and to everyone who helped with the clearing up etc. as well. Special thanks to Joan and Lee, my team mates, we had a few good ends?? There is always next year!! We still have a few friendlies, Monday Club and Crown Green day, keep bowling????
