|
Round-up for week ending August 2 2 wood section division 1 West End A 2 (83), West End B 10 (92): It
looks as though West End B will finish the stronger of the two sides. The A
side still need points to retain their status. BBC I 2 (84), Sleaford Road 10 (101):
Sleaford Road still vie for runners up status. The win over BBC was closer
than the 10 points indicates, with no big results. Burton House A 10 (105), Kirton 2 (74): A 31-6
from Richard Whittaker, Ted Tasker and Ken Porter brought Kirton back down to
earth. Getting the consolation points for the visitors were Brian Bates, Dave
Gill and Brian Bannister. Woodhall Town 2 (59), Bicker 10 (122): For
the visitors, Rod Slaughter, Roy Bourne and Paul Massingham posted a score of
45-9. Wigtoft 10 (118), BBC II 2 (65): We
record a notable 35-11 win for Pauline Craft, John Murphy and Ali Saunby,
together with a 35-14 for Seamus Rooney, John Craft and Graham Wilkinson. 2 wood section division 2 Sibsey 0 (75), Burton House B 12 (123): The cupboard
was bare this time for Sibsey, as Burton House B collect a maximum. West Skirbeck 8 (95), Woodhall Town 4 (80): A
43-9 from Rob Day’s rink was notable in this result, which keeps Skirbeck
tucked in behind the leaders out of any real danger of promotion. Jubilee Park 9 (110), Swineshead 3 (75):
Second placed Jubilee Park brought Swineshead down to earth, with Craig
Aitken’s rink winning 42-9. Sleaford Road 8 (96), Freiston 4 (88): A
slight easing off from Freiston this week allowed Sleaford road a lion’s
share of the points. George Phillips, with Dan and Thelma Taylor won 30-11,
and skips Tony Bush (home) and Derek Hunn (away) shared a 23-35 result. Kirton B 0 (67), Norprint 12 (105):
Norprint continue to finish strongly, but may well miss out on promotion.
Skip B Shaw posted a 31-16 win and R Hulley gained a 30 -13. In spite of having very little inclement weather this
year, compared to the last two seasons, we have had a sudden outbreak of
difficulties in fulfilling fixtures. Strictly speaking, inclement weather is
the only reason that fixtures may be called off, but beyond that matters need
clarifying. As we are in the business of enjoying playing bowls, I feel that
there is little to be gained from refusing to rearrange a game if it is
possible to do so. However, the point that I am keen to emphasise is that
there is no mechanism for teams to claim points from the opposition, or to
indeed to give them points. Rules 13, 14, 15 and 20 cover this adequately. 3 wood section division 1 Wyberton 12 (76), Stickney 0 (54): The
cupboard was bare again for Stickney, who put up a good show on most rinks
but gained no reward. The biggest home winners were Alex Tomlin, Dave Heron
and Mick Tomlin with 22-14. Both teams are struggling with manpower
shortages. Sibsey 2 (53), Wigtoft 10 (64): A
narrow win for the Wigtoft heroes against Sibsey, including a 21-12 from
Seamus Rooney, John Craft and Graham Wilkinson. BBC I 10 (65), Jubilee Park 2 (57): BBC I
are still just off the pace after this narrow win over lowly Jubilee Park.
The biggest win went to visiting skip Frank Manley with a 22-7, which got
quite close to the aggregate. Woodhall Town 4 (65), Goodfellowship 8 (83): The
Fosdyke team maintain their good form, with Richard Allen helping Shirley and
Joe Moore to a 29-8 win. Town skips Keith Robinson and Brian Connelly got the
four points for the visitors. Kirton A 2 (54), Burton House B 10 (54):
Possibly the winners and the runners up featured in this game. 3 wood section division 2 Freiston 10 (92), Swineshead 2 (38):
Kirstie Sanson, Christine Nightingale and John Stray posted a 28-10 in a one
sided game. Gill Dawson, Derek Armstrong and Geoff Dawson grabbed a one shot
consolation for the visitors. Mareham 6 (81), Norprint 6 (61):
Norprint won narrowly on three rinks for six points in this re-arranged week
8 fixture. However, they reckoned without a 37-6 win for Philip Lees,
Joe Horton and captain Pete Smith to gather the remaining rink points and
aggregate points by a 20 shot margin. Good going. West End A 4 (59), Wrangle 8 (63):
Wrangle continue to go well, maintaining a mid table position. In a very
close game the points could have gone either way. Castle 6 (72), West End B 6 (62): The
two top sides shared the points, Castle winning the aggregate thanks to a
29-9 from Tom Scholey, Les Bowser and either Gordon or George Wells. 3 wood section division 3 Sibsey C 2 (53), BBC II 10 (83): This
week 13 result shows only George Bulman’s rink getting on the score sheet for
the home side. Big away results were registered by skips Ab. Houlden 22-8 and
Phil Markham 20-9 Sleaford Road 12 (83), Donington 0 (58): A
full house for Road skips Tony Bush, Mick Brown, Neil Harrison and Ted Bourne
keep them nicely in mid-table. Friskney 10 (76), BBC II 2 (71):
Friskney stay top due to a 5 shot win over BBC II Boston Park 4 (56), Woodhall Town 8 (65):
Woodhall keep in touch with the leaders, Carolyn Smith’s rink winning 27-13,
and one set only scoring 21 shots between the two sides. Sibsey B 10 (55), West Skirbeck 2 (42): A 10 for
Sibsey B steadies second placed Skirbeck. Will Skirbeck skilfully avoid
promotion again? |

|
Round-up for week ending July 25 2 wood section division 1 Kirton 12 (113), Woodhall Town 0 (72):
Kirton have hit a rich vein of form and could end up runners up. Glynne
Goringe, Gordon Harris and Geoff Parker contributed a 35-18. West End B 12 (111), BBC II 0 (76): West
End put valuable space between themselves and the second relegation spot,
aided and abetted by a 32-19 from Keith Swain with Sheila Peter Tracey. Burton House A 10 (105), Sleaford Road 2 (77): It is
difficult to see anyone stopping Burton House now. Strength in depth is what
the other squads seems to lack. Maybe the transfer season will bring about a
change. Bicker 12 (112), West End A 0 (49): There
is danger of relegation for the West End A string. Home skips Wayne Phoenix,
Dave Allerton, Paul Massingham and Paul Hudson all put in crushing wins. BBC I 6 (85), Wigtoft 6 (84): Two
teams safe in mid-table fought out a close draw. The only win for BBC, a
35-10 from Alan Buxton, Mike Campion and Captain Arnold Bennett was enough
for the aggregate as well. 2 wood section division 2 Freiston 12 (124), Kirton B 0 (55):
Another good result was recorded for Freiston. Jim Walker and Mark Brown’s
rinks both recorded over 30 shots, with the others not too far behind. Sibsey 4 (77), Norprint 8 (84):
Another close result went in favour of the visitors. Woodhall Town 2 (75), Swineshead 10 (93): The
two wood version of Swineshead continue to do well, with Daryll Gardiner’s
rink contributing a 28-17. Sleaford Road 2 (61), Jubilee Park 10 (100):
Likely promotion candidates Jubilee Park got a good result down Peck Avenue.
George Phillips with Thelma and Dan Taylor got the consolation points for the
home team. No result submitted for West Skirbeck v. Burton House B. 3 wood section division 1 The week 12 result from Fosdyke shows Goodfellowship 8
(62), Wigfoft 4 (61). Wigtoft 10 (77), Stickney 2 (48):
Stickney 2 is becoming par for the course these days, with Carol Clarke,
Michael Hutton and Jeff Nicholson winning this week. Rodney Kelk, John Murphy
and Ali Saunby grasped a one shot milestone win. Kirton A 12 (80), Woodhall Town 0 (44):
Kirton head firmly for the runners-up spot with this result, Geoff Parker’s
rink being the biggest winners again. Burton House 12 (68), Jubilee Park 0 (45):
Another steady performance but no big scores at all, with House skips Mick
Asplen, Ken Porter, Richard White and Rob Askey winning steadily. BBC I 10 (72), Sibsey 2 (51): BBC I
stay third with Pete Clark, Ivor Brown and Alan Woods getting the visitors
points. Goodfellowship 10 (78), Wyberton 2 (61):
Steady in mid-table, the Fosdyke side recorded a good win against a team who
could have won this division. Gary Johnson, with Colin and Stella Baxter
winning 29-6 against a strong rink. 3 wood section division 2 Burton House B 10 (68), West End B 2 (52): A
week 12 result shows narrow rink wins grabbing more valuable points for
Burton House. Castle 10 (65), Burton House B 2 (47):
However, it was back to the drawing board at rampant leaders Castle. Tony
Wells, Peter Ulyatt and Brian Sweet posting a 20-9 win. Freiston 6 (63), West End A 6 (63):
Another perfect draw. Ian Smith and Barry Nightingale’s rinks won at home,
with Ralph Sawer and Ray Blackamore skipping their teams to balance the
points and aggregate. West End B 12 (93), Swineshead 0 (38): A
predictable result for top vs. bottom, with a 28-11 from Sheila and Peter
Tracey with Ken Hamblyn. Wrangle 9 (58), Norprint 3 (56). Mareham v Wyberton will be played on August 6 3 wood section division 3 Sleaford Road 4 (51), West Skirbeck 8 (76): A
26-7 win for Ken Sharman, Terry Davidson and Peter Hoyles aided by a 33-5
from Barbara Mills, John Whyers and Derek Wright got Skirbeck the bulk of the
points. Woodhall Town 12 (82), Donington 0 (46): Ian
Aitken, Audrey Brown and Ernie Brown won 30 shots to 10 in this whitewash. Kirton B 6 (59), Sibsey B 6 (62): A
close outcome though the home team won three rinks, the aggregate was won by
John Gash, John Hodgson and John Goodson with a 28-6. Boston Park 7 (70), Friskney 5 (67): A
close encounter between leaders Friskney and bottom club Park, with no rink
winning by more than five shots. Lou Rice’s rink won by one for the visitors,
as did Malc Sands’ rink. Dave Young’s rink won by 5 for the park, whilst
Peter Simpson and Tony Bullen drew. I hope that there was not too much of a
post-mortem about the aggregate. No results from Week 12: Sibsey B v BBC II; Week 13 Sibsey C v BBC II.
Any Clues please? |

Round-up for week ending July 18 Still to be added |
||||||
|
Round-up for week ending July 11 This was possibly the poorest week for weather of the
season so far, yet creditably all games were played and remarkably all
results were returned on time. 2 wood section division 1 The result sheet for the week 10 match BBC II v Burton House A
shows the result was 12-0 to the visitors, with the aggregate at 52-129. Sleaford Road 9 (89), Woodhall Town 3 (76): Three
creditable points were gained by Woodhall Town in a close match. John Gee’s
rink drew and Brian Connelly’s won by one. Only Craig Spencer, Colin Palmer
and Keith French pulled any trees up in Peck Avenue winning 24-15. Kirton A 10 (113), BBC II 2 (69):
Gordon Harris, Peter Copeland and Geoff Parker won very heavily, 41-8, and
Rob Goodale, assisted by R. Sharp and A. Batchelor won by ten shots to get
some points for the Peacocks. Burton House A 10 (129), West End A 2 (68):
Burton House nose slowly ahead with this win. Richard Whittaker, Ted Tasker
and Ken Porter won 40-17, with Harold Philpott helping Jenny and Ron Holmes to
a 25-20 win to get West End some points. BBC I 2 (86), Bicker 10 (89): Only
three shots separated the two sides, thanks to a big win by home captain
Arnold Bennett, but Bicker skips Nick Wing, Paul Massingham and Dave Allerton
did enough to bag the extra 4 points. West End B 2 (78), Wigtoft 10 (83): This
was a game where no one won by more than five shots. Skips Pip Clark, Graham
Wilkinson and Ali Saunby won for Wigtoft. 2 wood section division 2 West Skirbeck 10 (93), Freiston 2 (75): Both
team are mid-table contenders, and Skirbeck did well to get the bulk of the
points. Janet and John Whyers, with John Stevens won 27-18, while Tracey
Hills, Gordon Gallichan and Ivan Dilley won 25-16. Jubilee Park 2 (94), Sibsey 10 (99): Ten
good points should help Sibsey away from the lower reaches of the division,
and dent the hope of promotion for Jubilee Park. Sibsey won three rinks, and
narrowly won the aggregate in spite of a 39-9 win for skip N. Stoddart’s home
rink. Home captain Harold Best’s rink won 39-15 tp achieve this. Woodhall Town 9 (89), Sleaford Road 3 (79): No
report details. Swineshead 12 (129), Kirton B 0 (47): With
results like this, Swineshead should soon be approaching a place in the
promotion spots. The biggest win was for Eileen May, Edna Rimmer and Reg
Turner. Norprint 2 (83), Burton House B 10 (98):
Another comprehensive win for the Wainfleet Road second string, with Ron
Thacker, Mark Bennett and Dave Hazelgrove gaining 40 shots. 3 wood section division 1 Stickney 2 (56), Sibsey 10 (80): The
win for Sibsey in the local derby should help keep their head above water.
Eileen Brown, Keith Woods and Derek Grainger won 27-6 for the visitors,
whereas once again Penny Giles, with David and Steve Todd won for the home
team. Jubilee Park 10 (78), Woodhall Town 2 (68):
Narrow rink wins for skips Frank Manley, B Buck and J Wyatt were enough to
gain the bulk of the points in the second local derby of the week. Burton House A 8 (81), Wyberton 4 (62): Two
top teams contested a close contest. Skips Pete Asplen and Mick Asplen won
for the home side, with the latter’s 30-9 ensuring the aggregate. Skips Simon
Reeson and M Tomlin won for Wyberton. Kirton A 8 (81), Wigtoft 4 (59):
Kirton will go second as a result of this score. Peter Copeland and Geoff
Parker, this time with Chris Gill won 32-8, whilet skips Graham Wilkinson and
Pip Clark got four valuable points for the visitors. BBC I 10 (87), Goodfellowship 2 (41): Skip
A Batchelor dropped only one end while winning 39-3. The hot rink of Don
Ebbage with Shirley and Joe Moore got the points for the visitors. 3 wood section division 2 Freiston 6 (68), Mareham 6 (70): There
is often debate in the bowling world as to how much attention should be paid
to the aggregate score, when the game is tight. On this occasion Freiston won
closely or well through skips John Stray, Barry Nightingale and Ian Smith,
only to lose the aggregate comprehensively to Mareham’s Ann Wickens, Stuart
Knowles and Steve Stephens at 31-9. However, if someone had chased the
aggregate, rink points may have been lost. Who knows? Swineshead 2 (56), Norprint 10 (67):
Swineshead are not as strong in this section as in the 2 wood game. They are
well adrift in the table. Norprint are in a healthy mid-table after this
game. West End B 10 (83), West End A 2 (66): The B
team edge steadily towards promotion, while the A are in mid-table. The
biggest win of the night went to the A teams Derek Butwright, Mick Hippisley
and Ray Blackamore. Wyberton 8 (72), Burton House B 4 (60): Wins
for skips Ivan Kisby and Tina Reeson were enough to help Wyberton to try to
escape the relegation zone. Castle 9 (71), Wrangle 3 (63):
Firstly, our regrets go out to Castle BC that their pavilion has been
destroyed by fire. I hope that the bowling leagues rally round to help any rearrangement
of fixtures necessary to go smoothly. In spite of the distraction, Castle
managed a creditable win to remain second. 3 wood section division 3 The missing week 10 result shows BBC II 10 (75),
Donington 2 (50). Sleaford Road 4 (57), BBC II 8 (71): A
26-9 win from C Cunningham, B Sansam and J Meads was enough to clinch the
aggregate. Woodhall Town 10 (99), West Skirbeck 2 (53): This
was a comprehensive win for Woodhall Town, with Alan Raymond, Terry Cockerill
and Duncan MacNaughtan winning 37-12 at home. Boston Park 4 (58), Sibsey B 8 (71): This
was a close game on three rinks, with Margaret and Gordon Wells skipped by
Rosemary Hoskin making the difference for the visitors. Donington 10 (71), Kirton B 2 (61): Brian
Bates, Lesley Woods and Graham Slack did well for the visitors, but rink wins
for home skips K Staples, G Simpson and M. Laidler were enough for Donington
to gain valuable points. Sibsey C 8 (76), Friskney 4 (73):
Friskney stay well clear at the top after this surprise defeat at the hands
of strugglers Sibsey. All rinks and the aggregate were very close. |

a result of this defeat. Gordon Harris, Peter Copeland and Geoff Parker won

the Wigtoft team. Both teams remain in mid-table. 2 wood section division 2 Norprint 2 (73), Woodhall Town
10 (89): Steady
wins for rinks skipped by Ernie Brown and Duncan MacNaughton, together with a
more modest win for Brian Trinder’s rink
secured the bulk of the points for the visitors. Sibsey 4 (88), Swineshead 8
(90): Only two
shots in the aggregate meant disappointment for the home side, who, according
to the sheet thought that they were playing Heckington! Skips Eileen May and
Lee Bristow skipped winning rinks for Swineshead, and Barry Thompson’s rink,
together with Alan Woods’ won for Sibsey 3 wood section division 1 Stickney 8 (81), Jubilee Goodfellowship 8 (65), Sibsey A

(50): This was
a convincing return to form for Mareham, with Joe Smith’s rink winning 25-7. Freiston 4 (69), Castle 8 (70): The aggregate went to the
visitors by one shot which was always likely to happen as no rink won by more
than 4 shots. For Castle, skips Neil Rogers won by 3 and Brian Sweet by 3,

Round-up for week ending June 27 The season is now half way through. Most games have been
played on time, and it is becoming clear to see who the winners and losers
may be. Firstly though, a reminder that the Shipstone Cup is

to 1949, and has been played for most years since. This year it is a triples

Paul Massingham and Nick Wing won for the home team, whereas Ken Porter’s
rink reduced the arrears to eight for the visitors. BBC I 12 (108), West End B 0 (68): This
was a whitewash for outside contenders BBC I. Winning well were skips Alan

Sleaford Road are now within three points of the leaders. Wigtoft 10 (112), Kirton A 2 (78): This
was a good win for Wigtoft against third placed Kirton. It was pointed out on
the score sheet that one home skip was still awaiting a win. Remember that
it’s a team game! Woodhall 8 (98), BBC II 4 (86): Two
rink wins each for the bottom two clubs, with Woodhall getting the aggregate
from skips Brian Connelly (28-16) and Ray Dales (33-21). 2 wood section division 2 Woodhall Town 4 (87), Norprint 8 (91): A
narrow four-shot win for Norprint brought the extra points for the visitors

29-14, and the rink skipped by Tony Hall won by 5. Burton House B 8 (93), Jubilee Park 4 (77): The
battle between the top two teams showed the lion’s share of the points going
to the home side, thanks to a 30-8 win from Derek Whelbourn’s rink. Kirton B 2 (71), Woodhall Town 10 (92):
Woodhall move into mid-table as a result of this win. There were good rinks

Convincing wins on three rinks brought the bulk of the points away from
Fosdyke. Only local aces Shirley Moore, Don Ebbage and Joe Moore scraped
shots for the home team. Wyberton 12 (89), Jubilee Park 0 (43):
Victory took Wyberton to the top of the table. Home skips Mick Tomlin, Martin
Tomlin, Bernard Skelton and Simon Reeson all won well against the Park. Woodhall Town 8 (64), Wigtoft 4 (61): A
good win for Woodhall, though by a narrow margin. Brian Connelly, Paul Fox
and Ray Dales won 24-5 at home, with a creditable 23-10 for Seamus Rooney,
John Craft and Graham Wilkinson for the visitors, for whom Ali Saunby’s rink
also won 23-14 Sibsey A 0 (53), Kirton A 12 (85):
Kirton are a good third after this result with all rinks winning well. BBC I 10 (76), Stickney 2 (62):
Another poor result for bottom club Stickney. Sue Upsall, Muriel Watson and
Ron Flower managed 37-11 for the home side whilst David and Steve Todd with Penny
Giles replied with 24-9 for the visitors only points. 3 wood section division 2 Wrangle 8 (69), Swineshead 4 (57):
Mid-table Wrangle got the bonus points thanks to 23-9 from David Clark, Ray
Robinson and Kath Chappell. Burton House B 8 (61), Freiston 4 (60): The
least successful of the Burton House sides got the bulk of the points, but
only by one shot. Tom Richardson, John Whitehouse and Mark Bennett won 20-11. Castle 6 (69), Wyberton 6 (69):
Another two rinks and aggregate draw slows down Castle’s progress to
promotion. Brian Sweet’s rink won 22-8, Adrian Watson’s 29-11, but Wyberton
skips Mick Tomlin and Mick Dodes balanced it. Mareham 2 (67), West End B 10 (79): At
one stage in the season, Mareham looked to be promotion candidates, but now
relegation becomes a possibility. West End A made the most of their visit,
skips Gerry Myers winning 24-11, Tommy Horn 28-10 with a more modest 18-15
from Ray Blackamore. West End B 9 (65), Norprint 3 (53): West
End are level on points on top with Castle. This was a close game, with Linda
Garner, Keith Swain and John Fensom being the biggest winners with 19-9
3 wood section division 3 Donington 2 (69), Friskney 10 (75): A
late running week eight result shows another fruitful trip across town (is
this the longest trip in the league?) for Friskney. We still await Woodhall
Town v Sibsey B from week eight. BBC II 9 (76), West Skirbeck 3 (66): This
week nine match shows some very close results with only Eric Lewis’ home rink
(21-11) scoring at all well. Sibsey B 2 (65), Donington 10 (90): Both
teams are mid-table but Donington raised the aggregate points thanks to skips
G. Simpson (27-15) and M. Laidler (26-13). Kirton B 9 (81), Woodhall Town 3 (52): A good
home win for Kirton thanks to a 31-4 for Muriel Goringe, Sheila Cressey and
Sandra Copeland Friskney 10 (80), Sleaford Road 2 (54):
Another 10 points for Friskney takes them back to the top with a 26-5 from
Doris Burbidge, Margaret Grant and Lou Rice. Boston Park 12 (94), Sibsey C 0 (47): A
first game at home for Boston Park brought them all the points. Good wins
were recorded for rinks skipped by Peter Simpson, Arnold Pape, Dave Young and
Charles Newham. |
||||||
|
Round-up for week ending June 20 2 wood section division 1 BBC I 10 (89), West End A 2 (82): A
tardy week 7 result shows Ron & Jenny Holmes, with Mick Hippisley getting
the only points for the visitors. BBC I 8 (118), Woodhall Town 4 (83): This
week BBC collected another 8, winning well were M Cambell, Ron Flower and Rod
West at 35-14. Bicker 2 (78), Sleaford Road 10 (106):
Bicker have gone off the boil, to be replaced as the main challengers by
Sleaford Rd. Burton House A 10 (100), Wigtoft 2 (76): Two
rinks finished very close, but 29-19 from Mick Asplen’s rink and Peter Horn’s
28-19 were enough for the Champions, and in my opinion, the champions elect. West End A 10 (114), BBC II 2 (80): Ann
Kemp, Mavis Ablard and Tom Horn scored 40 shots. Kirton 8 (93), West End B 4 (76):
Kirton plod along comfortably just behind the leaders. Dale Elsam, Tony Nixon
with Albert Crowder won comfortably by 32-8 2 wood section division 2 Woodhall Town 0 (66), Freiston 12 (97): No
report details. Jubilee Park 12 (138), Norprint 0 (45): A
very one sided game, with a 54-5 from the park rink of H Herrick, T Bourne
and N Stoddard Swineshead 4 (73), Burton House B 8 (92):
Strong wins for the visitors skips Margaret Chester 26-11 and Mark Bennett
30-21 were not matched by the home rinks. Sleaford Road 6 (87), West Skirbeck 6 (87): Two
rinks each and the shared aggregate is quite rare. Winning well for Sleaford
Road were Jan and David Bailey 27-19 and Thelma and Dan Taylor 31-21,
replying for the visitors Terry Davison, Gordon Gallichan and Mick Roberts
won 25-12 whilst John Stevens rink won narrowly, but just enough. Sibsey 12 (139), Kirton B 0 (64): This
was a heavy win for the home team, with only one rink close. Captain Harold
Best’s rink scored 42, while two others passed 30. 3 wood section division 1 Wigtoft 2 (50), Wyberton 10 (91): Time
was when Wigtoft were virtually unbeaten at home, but those days are now in
the past. For the visitors Andrews Limb & Dawson with Martin Tomlin won
32-11, whilst Alex Seaton, with Tina & Simon Reeson nearly matched it
with 29-10. Burton House A 8 (67), Sibsey 4 (59):
Sibsey did well at Wainfleet Rd., with it being relatively close on all
rinks. The only real difference was the away rinks winning by 5, whilst home
rinks skipped by Ken Porter and Pete Asplen won by 11 and 9. Kirton A 10 (81), Stickney 2 (56): Only
Carol Clarke, Sid Coultan and Jeff Nicholson won for the visitors, who will
have to work hard to avoid relegation. The home rink of Peter Copeland, Chris
Gill and Geoff Parker won by 26-9. Goodfellowship 12 (92), Jubilee Park 0 (43): Three
very convincing wins on three of the home rinks rapped up an unexpectedly
one-sided game. BBC I 8 (81), Woodhall Town 4 (66): Paul
Fox, Bob Tolley and Brian Connelly did well to win 23-13 away, but Woodhall’s
chances of the aggregate were ruined by a 32-9 home win for Alan Buxton,
Graham Tooley and Jonathan West. 3 wood section division 2 Swineshead 2 (68), Burton House B 10 (70): In
one of the closer results this week, Swineshead won only one rink, but Gill
and Geoff Dawson with Brian Clark 24-14 did nearly enough to match the narrow
wins of the away team. Freiston 10 (78), Wyberton 2 (56): Wins
for Wendy Sharpe, Freda Hardy with John Stray 22-12, and Beryl Brewster, John
Millership with Derek Hunn 23-13 guaranteed the aggregate. West End A 8 (68), Castle 4 (57):
Castle came unstuck on the slopes of the West End rink, losing by 11 shots.
Norma Barnes, Ralph Sawer and Ray Blackamore helped win the aggregate with a
27-7 score. Wrangle 2 (58), West End B 10 (63): West
End B may end up contending for promotion, although this win was modest. Only
5 shots separated the teams, with no rink winning by more than 4. Mareham v Norprint: Cancelled due to a
flooded green. 3 wood section division 3 West Skirbeck 10 (73), Boston Park 2 (50): I am not
allowed to tip Skirbeck for promotion, but a 22-7 for Janet Whyers, Ted
Brooks and Peter Hoyles make it more likely. Kirton B 2 (61), BBC II 10 (76): No
report details. Sibsey C 2 (57), Sleaford Road 10 (78): A
32-3 result from Fran King, Thelma Taylor and Ted Bourne ensures the
aggregate points. There were no results submitted for Donington v
Friskney or Woodhall Town v Sibsey B. |

|
Round-up for week ending June 13 2 wood section division 1 West End B 4 (82), Burton House
8 (83): This was
a close shave for the league leaders. A home and away rink each won by 4
shots, but the 29-12 from Sally Hippisley, Keith Swain and John Fensom
narrowly lost out to the visitors 29-11 from Richard Whittaker, Ted Tasker
and Ken Porter. Kirton 12 (93), Bicker 0 (67): Nobody is currently challenging
Burton House for the title. Bicker fell well adrift with this result. There
were no big rink wins and home rink skips Stan Lawrence, Brian Bannister,
Geoff Parker and Albert Crowder just did enough. Wigtoft 10 (95), Woodhall No result from BBC I vs 2 wood section division 2 Norprint 2 (68), Swineshead 10
(84): A good
result for the visitors, with Eileen May, Edna Rimmer and Reg Turner winning
34-9 3 wood section division 1 BBC I 10 (70), Wyberton 2 (58): Last weeks leaders came unstuck
away to BBC I. Only Andy Dawson, Maggie Kisby and Andrew Limb won for the
visitors, with M Stares, Christine Medcalf and Richard Lewis winning 24-11 for
the home team. Stickney 2 (58), Burton House 10
(87): A Kirton A 8 (80), Goodfellowship
4 (74): Two
teams that will probably finish mid-table each had a share of the points.
Making the aggregate count were Peter Copeland, Glynne Goringe and Geoff
Parker who won 24-11 for the home team. Sibsey A 10 (77), Woodhall 3 wood section division 2 Castle 8 (73), Norprint 4 (64): Castle lead the way by 9 points
after this good win against challengers Norprint. There was a 26-12 from Chris
Money, Tom Scholey and Adrian Watson. Freiston 10 (68), Wrangle 2
(57): Mid-table
at the moment for these two teams, with the biggest win being a 26-8 for the
losing side from Stan Holins, Ray Robinson and Kath Chappell. West End B 12 (110), Mareham 0
(40): Wyberton 8 (62), Swineshead 4
(41): The
Wyberton second string improved their position slightly as a result of a this
win over rock bottom Swineshead. There were unusually two drawing rinks and
an away win of 1, before rain stopped play with Iris Reeson, Tina Reeson and
Dave Heron in front 26-4. 3 wood section division 3 This is
the closest of the five divisions, with one point covering the top four
clubs, and five points covering the top six. Friskney 2 (39), West Skirbeck
10 (58): Friskney
drop from first to fourth and Skirbeck go top after this game, which looks like
it finished early. 19-6 from Tracey Hill, Terry Davidson and star skip Rob
Rutherford and 16-6 from Ken Sharman, Gary Hill and John Stevens won the
aggregate. Sibsey C 4 (63), Donington 8
(84): A good
away win for Donington who climb out of the bottom two. Kirton 10 (67), Boston |
||||||
|
Round-up for week ending June 6 2 wood section division 1 Sleaford Rd 9 (87), BBC I 3 (78): The
missing week 5 result shows a convincing home win, with a 31-19 from
Sue-Simpson Shaw, Hazel Marshall and Les Feary. Kirton A 10 (94), Sleaford Rd 2 (90): The
Peck Avenue side did less well on their travels, but the aggregate was tight.
They need some good results against the leading teams to stay in touch. BBC II 2 (69), BBC I 10 (10):
Notable was a 37-14 win for the first team rink of Alan Buxton, H K Grant and
captain Arnold Bennett. West End A 4 (80), Wigtoft 8 (84): Only
four shots in it at the end, with John Murphy, Seamus Rooney and Graham
Wilkinson winning 27-14 for Wigtoft and Joe Rechowicz, Ray Blackamore and John
Sellars replying for the home team with 23-13. The other two rinks were
close. Bicker 10 (117), West End B 2 (2):
Bicker, with a game in hand, are still only nine points behind the leaders.
Andrew Slaughter, Jim Thompson and Roger Wing won 39-9, and David Slaughter,
Roy Bourne with Frank Hinton won 38-12. Woodhall Town 4 (76), Burton House A 8 (102): Big
wins from visiting skips Richard White 37-12, and Maurice Kemp 32-15 just
outweighed creditable performances for the home team by rinks skipped by John
Gee and Dennis Crabtree. Burton House remain top and favourites to retain
their crown. 2 wood section division 2 Burton House B 12 (132), Kirton B 0 (65): The
Wainfleet Road second string also top their division, and demonstrated their
strength against Kirton. Three rinks scored above 30 shots, with Tina
Bennett, Joseph Carson and Ken Cook winning 42-20. A Kirton rink skipped by
Pat Weaver put up stiff resistance, losing eventually by four shots. Freiston 4 (80), Norprint 8 (102): This
was a good result for the visitors, who were floundering a little. A rink win
of 34-6 for the visiting rink of Mark Freemantle, Dave Allenby and Ray
Loughran earned the extra four points. Sibsey A 10 (109), West Skirbeck 2 (66):
Sibsey rise off the base of the table after this result, with a 43-5 from
Jill Russell, John Gash and captain Harold Best being notable. Jubilee Park 4 (79), Woodhall Town 8 (80): Early
in the season, Town dropped a lot of points by the odd shot here and there.
Now the boot is on the other foot, with the bulk on the points going to them
as a result of 1 shot. Skips Dave Walsh and Brian Trinder won for Town, with
N. Stoddard and Craig Aitken winning for Park. Sleaford Rd 10 (103), Swineshead 2 (78): Both
sides are comfortably mid-table. Fran King with Thelma and Dan Taylor won
32-16 and Ray Hobart, with Cynthia and Tony Bush won 33-17 to gain the
aggregate. 3 wood section division 1 Kirton A 11 (95), Jubilee Park 1 (47): Three
points now cover 5 teams in the middle of this table, including these two. 28-8
results from rinks skipped by Geoff Parker and Brian Bannister did most of
the damage. Sibsey 0 (66), Wyberton 12 (85):
Wyberton top the division after a strong performance. Three of the four rinks
were very close, so Sibsey may feel disappointed to come away with nothing. Goodfellowship 10 (77), Stickney 2 (53): On a
very pleasant evening at Fosdyke, and witnessed by myself, the visitors
failed to come to terms with the rinks. Carol Clarke, Sid Coultan and Jeff
Nicholson were in with a shout until the end, but fell to Don Ebbage with Joe
and Shirley Moore. Colin Baxter seemed to save or convert a number of four
and five counts against him for Goodfellowship, leaving David Todd, Penny
Giles and Steve Todd to gain the only points for the visitors. Woodhall Town 4 (70), Burton House A 8 (71): Back
to old ways, Town lose 4 points for 2 shots. No further comment is possible
as the visitors did not fill in their names on the sheet. Wigtoft 2 (63), BBC I 10 (70): The
cupboard was nearly bare for Wigtoft in a close game. A 23-15 from visitors
Sue Upsall, Muriel Watson and Ron Flower was enough for the aggregate. 3 wood section division 2 Wrangle 10 (64), Wyberton 2 (54):
Wrangle slowly climb the table, each rink win was narrow, the biggest being a
17-12 for Joe White’s team. Burton House B 8 (73), Norprint 4 (61):
Norprint drop to second as a result of this defeat. Mareham 2 (60), Castle 10 (80):
Castle go top as a result of this win, with rink wins for skips Brian Sweet,
Stan Avison and Neil Rodgers. Freiston 4 (68), West End B 8 (68): A
drawn aggregate is fairly rare, especially when only one rink wins for one
team. On this occasion a 30-9 from Kirsty Sansam, Mathew Smith and Barry
Harrington was enough to even out the efforts of visiting skips John Fensom
(21-11), Denis Robins (18-15) and Peter Tracey (20-12). West End A 12 (107), Swineshead 0 (34): The
cupboard was bare for Swineshead again this week, and they are now adrift at
the foot of the table. Jenny Holmes, Harold Philpott and Ralph Sawer contributed
a 31-6 rink win. 3 wood section division 3 Sibsey B 4 (65), Sibsey C 8 (64): A
close and very nearly cosy result for the local village derby. A 25-7 win for
the C team rink of Barry Hudson, John Garden and Kevin Bourne just got the
aggregate. Sleaford Rd 4 (57), Woodhall Town 8 (69): Again
the biggest rink win for Woodhall included Audrey and Ernie Brown with Beryl
Stanley (22-8) which helped gain the extra points. BBC II 4 (67), Boston Park 8 (79): A
34-11 from Charles Newham’s rink made the difference for bottom club Park,
who, up to now, have had to play all their fixtures away from home. I hope
that the green is recovering sufficiently for them to be able to play at home
in the second half of the season. West Skirbeck 8 (67), Donington 4 (62): A narrow
win for Skirbeck included a 28-8 win for visitors Mrs P Wilson, Mrs E Lawton
and Mrs B Grimshaw, slightly bettered by 23-2 from Ken Sharman, Terry
Davidson and Barry Bagley and 24-7 from Janet Whyers, Ted Brooks and Rob
Rutherford. Friskney 8 (66), Kirton B 4 (61): There
were narrow rink wins for both sides as Friskney extend their lead in the
table. |
||||||
|
Round-up for week ending May 30 2 wood section division 1 Bicker 8 (105), Woodhall Town 4 (80): Bicker
surprisingLY dropped points at home to bottom club Woodhall. Rinks skipped by
visitors John Gee and Dennis Crabtree both won by three shots, to deprive the
home team of much needed points. West End B 10 (97), West End A 2 (77): The B
squad at the Princes’ Road ground triumphed on this occasion. There was a
36-12 from Sally Hippisley, Keith Swain and John Fensom, plus two narrower
wins, with Joe Rechowicz, Ralph Sawyer and John Sellars getting the points
for the A team. BBC II 2 (67), Wigtoft 10 (81):
Mid-table Wigtoft are always hard to beat, with rinks skipped by Ali Saunby,
Pip Clark and Murray Chambers winning comfortably. Kirton A 2 (62), Burton House A 10 (120): Jean
Cammack, Di Wilson and Richard White contributed a 40-12 rink win to this
comprehensive away win for the frontrunners. No result has been received yet for Sleaford Road v BBC
I, the only straggler this week. 2 wood section division 2 Burton House B 10 (106), Sibsey A 2 (66): A
good win from the current leaders, with a 32-15 win from from Ken Cook’s rink
and a 35-15 from Dave Hazelgroves. Freiston 12 (107), Swineshead 0 (76):
Another good result from Freiston in this strong division. There were no
massive wins, but rinks skipped by Mark Brown, Keith Posey, Jim Walker and
Derek Hunn all won comfortably. Woodhall Town 2 (61), West Skirbeck 10 (126): Derek
Wright, Rob Day and Ivan Dilley managed 56 shots in this match. Other points
for the visitors came from rinks skipped by John Stevens and Rob Rutherford. Norprint 8 (101), Kirton B 4 (81): Mark
Freemantle, David Allenby and Peter West contributed a 37-13 to this 20 shot
aggregate win. Swineshead 2 (78), Jubilee Park 10 (102): The
top part of this result sheet was completely blank. Luckily I recognised some
of the names and managed to deduce which match it was. Jubilee Park continue
to do well, and together with Burton House and Freiston should be thereabouts
when promotion is decided. 3 wood section division 1 Jubilee Park 8 (64), BBC I 4 (62): Third
placed Park should consolidate their position with this result, with a 27-12
from A Herrick, W West and H Welbourn ensuring the narrow aggregate win. Stickney 8 (78), Wyberton 4 (67): Top
team Wyberton came unstuck against an improving Stickney side. Winning rinks
were Gill & Dave Newman with Alan Peacock (21-12) and David Todd, Penny
Giles and Steve Todd (23-15). Goodfellowship 4 (69),Woodhall Town 8 (81): This
was a good result for Woodhall Town, with the aggregate ensured by a 26-10
from George Cutting, Ray Dales and Ken Robinson. Burton House A 8 (75), Kirton A 4 (59): A
fairly narrow 16 shot lead tp gain the aggregate was ensured by a 20-6 win
from Pete Asplen, Di Wilson and Mick Asplen. Wigtoft 8 (70), Sibsey A 4 (63): Only
seven shots separated the two sides, with Seamus Rooney, John Craft and
Graham Wilkinson winning for the home side and a strong reply from Eileen
Brown, Alan Woods and Derek Grainger (23-14) nearly closing the
gap. 3 wood section division 2 Swineshead 0 (45), Freiston 12 (93):
Another maximum for Freiston over Swineshead, with a 22-5 win for John
Stray’s rink and a 29-9 from Mark Brown’s. Mareham 12 (87), Burton House B 0 (52):
Mareham were back to winning ways at home to Burton House’s second string,
who seem not to be playing up to their abilities. Wrangle 4 (57), West End A 8 (71): The
aggregate points were ensured by a 24-9 from Ann Kemp, Paul Hutchinson and
Derek Butwright. Wyberton 0 (40), Norprint 12 (88): Top
club Norprint ran away with is game, which, from the sheet indicates that
Wyberton were two players short. West End B 0 (55), Castle 12 (77): The
previous top team fell heavily at home and allowed both the visitors and
Norprint to overtake them. There were no huge rink scaores, just nice steady
rink wins skipped by Stan Avison, Adrian Watson, Brian Sweet and Neil
Rodgers. 3 wood section division 3 Donington 4 (56), Woodhall Town 8 (78): A
week 4 sheet shows Woodhall triumphing in this battle of sides struggling at
the foot of the table. Wins of 25-10 from Duncan MacNaughtan’s rink and a 26-7
from Brian Trinder’s were enough to secure the aggregate. Woodhall Town 10 (76), Boston Park 2 (65): A
match that was fairly even in the scores, took the bulk of the points to
Woodhall. The biggest win was for Beryl Stanley with Audrey and Ernie Brown. West Skirbeck 8 (72), Sibsey B 4 (62): This
was a narrow result between two mid-table teams. The aggregate was ensured by
a 28-6 from John Stevens, aided and abetted by Derek Wright and Gary Hill. Donington 6 (60), Sleaford Road 6 (67): This
draw was achieved in spite of the home team winning three of the four rinks.
Unfortunately, they only won them narrowly allowing the visitor’s Debbie
Harrison, Cynthia Bush and Tony Bush to gain all their team’s share with a
28-15 win. BBC II 12 (100), Friskney 0 (49): The
most unusual result of the week shows runaway leaders Friskney coming down to
earth with a bang in Robin Hood’s Walk. The biggest home win was from T Johns
with Henry Dowse and Phil Markham (31-6). However, Friskney’s lead was so big
that they are still top. Sibsey C 2 (45), Kirton B 10 (84): This
was a comprehensive win for the visitors who needed the points to maintain a
place in the chasing pack. |

Round-up for week ending May 23 Burton
House top both the 2 wood divisions, but the absence of a result makes the
first division position fragile. In the 3 wood section their A team, last
year’s winners are second, but the B side languishes in eighth spot in
division 2. 2 wood section division 1 BBC II 8 (94), WEST END A 4
(89): This was a
valuable, if modest win for the BBC second team. Big wins for the visitors
skips of Denis Robins 31-15 and John Fensom 26-19 were more than matched by
the home team’s J. Meads (35-13) and Ron Flower (25-19) to claim the 4
aggregate points. BBC II are 9th.and WOODHALL 2 (78), KIRTON A 10
(94): The win
for the visitors was notable for a 34-12 from Pete Copeland, Dave Gill and
Geoff Parker. John Gee’s rink won the consolation for the home team. Woodhall
are 10th and Kirton A are fourth. WIGTOFT 2 (66), BBC I 10 (98): A good result for BBC on a homer’s
green. Best performance was from Mike Campion, Graham Tooley and ex-Wigtoft
man Rod West with 32-9. Wigtoft are seventh and BBC I are fifth. No result
sheet has been received for WEST END B
v BICKER. Bicker will be top if they got ten or more points. 2 wood section division 2 JUBILEE SWINESHEAD 4 KIRTON B 2 (66), FREISTON 10
(100): A strong
performance from Freiston included a 34-11 win from Maureen and Derek Hunn
and John Millership. NORPRINT 9 (92), SIBSEY A 3
(65): A 34-8
from Anne Allenby, Janet Loughran and Roland Chapman ensured the aggregate
points for the home team. 3 wood section division 1 SIBSEY A 8 (63), BBC I 4 (62): Captain Peter Parker reports
that, going into the last end, his rink, including Dave Bridges and Phil
Stubley needed 5 for the aggregate, and indeed got them, being rewarded by
the 4 points. STICKNEY 4 (63), WIGTOFT 8 (68):
A 27-12 home
result from David Todd, Penny Giles and Steve Todd, with a narrow win from
Alan Peacock’s rink, was not enough to overcome a 21-8 and 21-13 from
visiting skips Pip Clark and Graham Wilkinson. WYBERTON 10 (72), GOODFELLOWSHIP
2 (63): This
was closer than it appears, with no big rink wins. Shirley and David Allen
with Eddie Harness got the Fosdyke teams only points. Wyberton lead the
division (33/4). 3 wood section division 2 WEST END A 2 (55), FREISTON 10
(99): Notable
was a 51-1 win for Kirsty Sansam, Matthew Smith and Mark Brown. SWINESHEAD 6 (68), WEST END B 6
(71): A rare
draw, with Linda Garner, Pete Bedford and Norman Ablard winning away by 25-8
to gain all six of West End’s points. Gill and Geoff Dawson with Brian Clarke
replied with 25-8, but the other two home rinks only won by one shot each. NORPRINT 4 (63), WRANGLE 8 (67): A 30-10 from Norprint’s Pam and
Richard Vinter with David Toynton was not enough to win the aggregate as
Wrangle replied with a 21-9 from David and Hazel Clark with Kath Chappell and
a 24-6 from Sid Pickwill, Bill Young and Keith Bailey. Norprint are still
second (33/4). WYBERTON 12 (93), MAREHAM 0
(46): It was
down to earth with a bump as Wyberton finally got going. The Reeson rink of
Bunny, Iris and Tina won 33-8. 3 wood section division 3 A week
3 result shows BBC II 2 (54), SIBSEY B
10 (87). WEST SKIRBECK 8 (64), SLEAFORD
ROAD 4 (55): A
21-9 from Philip Wicksted, Richard Mills and Rob Rutherford and a 25-9 for
Derek Wright, Mick Bond and John Stevens were enough to take the aggregate
points in spite of good wins for visiting skips Neil Harrison and Ted Bourne. SIBSEY B 12 (74), KIRTON B 0
(43): A very
strong performance from Sibsey’s second string. There were no huge wins, but
there was no danger of any dropped points. Sibsey B are second (34/4). BBC II 6 (71), SIBSEY C 6 (53): Making the difference was a rink
win from Henry Dowse, T Johns and Ken Whyers of 31-5 which was enough for
aggregate points as well. FRISKNEY 12 No
result in for Donington v |

|
Round-up for week ending May 16 A raw easterly
wind made bowling uncomfortable on Monday and Tuesday I am told. This was
joined by rain on Wednesday. However,
only two results are missing: 2wood d2, 2 wood section division 1 Bbc
Ii 0 (64), Bicker 12 (131): Another strong performance from the youthful Bicker team,
with a 37-11 win from Dave Allerton’s rink and 36-17 from skip Wayne Phoenix.
Will they have strength in depth to keep challenging all season? Kirton
A 11 (118), West End A 1 (64): Notable for the home team was a 36-8 rink win from Peter
Copeland, Dave Gill and Geoff Parker. Mick Hippisley’s rink scored the only
point for Burton
House A 10 (100), BBC I 2 (81): I am told that Richard Whittaker, Ted Tasker and Ken
Porter were 13-21 down after 16 ends and pulled back to win 25-21. Richard
Lewis’ rink grabbed the consolation points for BBC. West
End B 10 2 wood section division 2 Sibsey
2 (79), Freiston 10 (94): Wins of 29-15 from away skip Derek Hunn and 33-19 from
team mate Jim Walker were too much for Sibsey, who scored thanks to a 30-12
from Jill Russell, Don law and captain Harold Best. Swineshead
8 (100), West Skirbeck 4 (73): The Skirbeck secretary has asked me not to tip them too
strongly for promotion. Possibly his absence was the reason they lost. The
home team won strongly on two rinks, Phyllis Rickett, Derek Armstrong and Lee
Bristow with a 32-8, with away skips Doug Staples and Ike Dilley scraping
narrow wins. Woodhall
Town 2 (87), Burton House B 10 (95): again Woodhall missed out narrowly on two rinks, with
Ernie Brown, Audrey Brown and John Hall getting their points. Les Nicholson,
Eric Periera and Margaret Chester ensured the aggregate with a 23-14 win. Norprint
3 (81), Sleaford Road 9 (95): Norprint continue to struggle in the 2 wood game. There
were good rink wins for the visitors from skips Dan Taylor and Bill Earth 3 wood section division 1 Stickney
10 (77), Woodhall Town 2 (43): A better result for Stickney, notable for a 25-6 win
for Gill Newman, David Newman with their patient skip Alan Peacock. Kirton
A 4 (64), Wyberton 8 (66): This was a close game that could have gone either way.
Winning home skips were Geoff Parker and Brian Bannister with reply from Mick
Tomlin and Mick Dodes. Wigtoft
4 (69), Goodfellowship 8 (73): The four aggregate points depended on 4 shots in this
close game. Home skips Pip Clark(21-14) and Graham Wilkinson (22-19) narrowly
fell short of 20-12 from Alan Bristow and 20-14 from David Allen’s rink. 3 wood section division 2 Swineshead
2 (57), Castle 10 (81): Castle reinforce their place towards the top of the division with a
good win. Gill and Geoff Dawson with Tony Rimmer got the only points for the
home team. Freiston
3 (68), Norprint 9 (80): Top team Norprint bagged most of the points at Freiston, winning the
aggregate with a 24-8 from Barry Barton’s rink. Mareham
12 (82), Wrangle 0 (52): Mareham continue to rise, Wrangle begin to struggle. The biggest
win was a 24-11 from Nigel Cartwright, Shirley Kennedy and Brian West. West
End B 12 (79), Burton House B 0 (50): A good result for front-runners Wyberton
4 (42), West End A 8 (63): According to the sheet, the home team played a man short
in this shortened game. Norma Barnes, Mick Hippisley and Ray Blackamore won
31-4 for the visitors. 3 wood section division 3 Bbc
Ii 2 (69), Sleaford Rd 10 (73): Most of the points went to Donington
9 Sibsey
C 10 (61), West Skirbeck 2 (44): Sibsey C will climb up the table after this result. Nice
to see the Secretary playing again for Skirbeck. |

Round-up for week ending May 10 2 wood section division 1 Bicker 12 (98), BBC I 0 (75): Bicker have also only dropped
two points to date, and this was a very convincing performance against a
strong BBC side. A side to watch. West End A 0 (61), Burton House
A 12 (122). Wigtoft 7 (92), West End B 5
(87): Deciding
the extra aggregate points was a 26-11 from John Murphy, Seamus Rooney and
Graham Wilkinson. BBC II 4 (91), Kirton 8 (96): A good result for BBC II, who
may struggle over the season. Considering the opposition, it was creditable
to run the aggregate so close. 2 wood section division 2 Kirton B 2 (70), Swineshead 10
(92):
Swineshead lead the division at this early stage having dropped only 2 points. Sibsey 0 (64), Jubilee Freiston 2 (76), West Skirbeck
10 (95): with
Ivor Roberts and partners winning 31-19. 3 wood section division 1 Sibsey
12 (80), Stickney 0 (48): Showed an unexpectedly one-sided result, which
confirms my view that Stickney will struggle. Wyberton 4 (62), Burton House A
8 (72): After
last week’s result, Burton House have improved and rejoined the pack. Peter
Vines, Bob Askey and Richard White recorded a 22-8 win, which sealed the
aggregate. Wigtoft 4 (56), Kirton A 8 (73): Notable was a 28–5 win from
Peter Copeland, Ray Woods and J. Evans Goodfellowship 4 (52), BBC I 8
(73): The West
family, Alan, Rod and Jonathan scored a 26-6 win for BBC against the Allen
family Shirley, Richard and David at Fosdyke. 3 wood section division 2 Mareham 4 (64), Freiston 8 (72): There was little to separate these
two mid-table teams, with the aggregate being won for the visitors by Yvonne
Smith, Ian Smith and Barry ‘Backhand’ Harrington. West End A 2 (68), West End B 10
(78): In one of
many local derbies this year, the ‘B’ team showed its usual edge. There were
no close scores, but the aggregate was lost in spite of a 39-7 win for the
‘A’ teams Norma Barnes, Mick Hippisley and Ray Blackamore. Wrangle 1 (53), Castle 11 (82). Norprint 10 (67), Swineshead 2
(48): Norprint
lead after this result, helped by a 26-6 from Bill Mellor, Chris Avison and
David Toynton 3 wood section division 3 West Skirbeck 11 (84), Woodhall Sibsey B 10 (78), Boston Friskney 10 (72), Sibsey C 2
(56): Friskney are
likely promotion candidates as shown by this comprehensive win. Kirton B 12 (86), Donington 0
(51): Likewise,
Kirton ‘B’ will be thereabouts at the end of the season. |

Round-up for week ending May 3 The start of outdoor
bowling usually brings deterioration in the weather, this year being no
exception. However, there were at least a succession of dry nights to start
the season. The league this year consists of fewer but larger divisions,
giving clubs more games and a slightly longer season. Unfortunately one club
had its green vandalised shortly before the start of the season, and is
currently playing all the fixtures away. The co-operation of opposing sides
in making these rearrangements is appreciated by both the club involved and
the league. Player registrations were due by May 1. Those from
Goodfellowship, Kirton, Swineshead and Wyberton are outstanding. 2 wood section division 1 West End A v Woodhall
Town: West End won the aggregate
points by 100 -90 through good wins from skips Ray Blackamore and Geoff
Barnes. Skips Dennis Crabtree and John Gee (30-19) replied for Woodhall Town. BBC I v Kirton A: This was a good result for BBC, who, given
the right players being available, are title contenders. They saw off Kirton
‘A’ 10-2, with only Geoff Parker’s rink winning for the visitors. Burton Hoouse A v BBC II:
Champions Burton House got off
to a good start by winning 12-0, all rinks winning well. Bicker v Wigtoft: A 10-2 win for last year’s runners up Bicker
over a strong Wigtoft side sets them off to a good start, with Wayne
Phoenix’s rink winning 30-14. Sleaford Road v West End
B: No result submitted. 2 wood section division 2 Kirton B v Sleaford Road:
The visitors bagged a full house
12 with an aggregate of 59 in a one-sided contest. West Skirbeck v Jubilee
Park: West Skirbeck usually
yo-yo between the top two divisions, so this may well be a “going up” year.
Notable was a 47-11 score from Derek Wright, Rob Day and Ike Dilley. Swineshead v Sibsey A: A good start to the campaign for Swineshead,
who won 12-0. Freiston v Burton House
B: Freiston bagged the bulk
of the points 9-3, with wins from skips Derek Hunn and Keith Posey plus a
draw between Jim Walker and Margaret Chester for Burton House. Woodhall Town v Norprint:
No result submitted. 3 wood section division 1 Wyberton v Woodhall Town:
With a strong team out, Wyberton
won 11-1. BBC I v Kirton A: BBC won 8-4 gaining the aggregate by only
two shots 69-67. Burton House A v Wigtoft:
A poor start for the champions
saw them gain only two points from Jean Cammack, Di Wilson and Mick Asplen.
Wigtoft were marginally stronger on the other three rinks winning 17-10
(Graham Wilkinson), 16-12 Ali Saunby and 16-13 (Malc Clark). Goodfellowship v Sibsey
A: A strong Goodfellowship
side won 10-2 away at Sibsey, with Dave Bridges, Peter Clark and Peter Parker
getting the consolation points by one shot for the home team. Jubilee Park v Stickney: A narrow one shot aggregate win saw the home
team gain 8 points. Both sides may struggle to survive in this division. 3 wood section division 2 Norprint v West End A: Norprint should be a good bet for promotion
if they can keep up the form they showed by beating West End A by 10-2 and
89-47. Notable was a 35-11 win from skip Tony Hall’s rink. Castle v Freiston: Castle took the bulk of the points (8-4) in
a narrow 13 shot win over Freiston. Swineshead v Mareham: Mareham got off to a good start with an 8-4
win over a strong Swineshead side. Wins of 19-11 and 25-10 from skips Jim
Kennedy and Pete Smith were enough to win the aggregate by 20 shots. Wrangle v Burton House B:
Wrangle surprisingly took 10
points from this game against a strong Burton House side. Doing the damage
were skips Ian Drury and Joe White, a relative newcomer and a man of
great experience. West End B v Wyberton: No result submitted. 3 wood section division 3 Kirton B v West Skirbeck:
Kirton scraped home 8-4 by 15
shots against a Skirbeck side who stand a good chance of promotion. Boston Park v Sleaford
Road: Played at Sleaford Road,
the tie resulted in a 10-2 win for the home side. However, for the Park,
Gordon Neal, Neil Lockwood and Dave Young recorded a 27-9 win. Donington v BBC II: Only 11 shots separated the two teams, with
the aggregate points being earned by the visitors, mainly thanks to a 32-6
win from Bill Mortlock’s rink. Sibsey B v Friskney: Sibsey B could only manage 2 points thanks
to a win from Derick Smith, Ray Dennis and Lee Archer against a Friskney side
that could well end up being promoted. There were narrow wins for the
visitors from skips Neil Salmon, Alan Brummitt and Roger Burbidge. Woodhall Town v Sibsey:
C: A good start for Woodhall
Town with a 10-2 win over Sibsey ‘C’ with a good rink win (32-15) for Ernie
and Audrey Brown and Ian Aitken. |
