KLV D TEAM

Let’s catch up with what has happened of late with our KLV D team stars.

Last Friday we played Reading B at home an enjoyable game but unfortunately we just lost by 47 to 51 shots. It was close overall with an MTBC win on one rink but with losses on two.

Reading may have been relegated from the higher league last season, but it was evident that they had some very effective players, some loaned from their A team. MTBC achieved 2 league points which now gives us 20 points in total.

Trevor Allen has incorporated the league results onto the website so you can easily check on the progress we are making.

We have happily welcomed to our D Team squad a new member, Lee Morey and he will be playing in Robert Gallagher's team next Friday. Lee, we look forward to witnessing your bowls prowess.

MTBC takes on Desborough and Three Mile Cross

Sophie Lack said “I don’t often skip in a 4s, but I was happy with my performance today,” as she emerged from Saturday’s MTBC tussle in the National Top Club with local rivals Desborough Bowling Club. Sophie went on to say , “We did win on our rink 18-15 but sadly we left with a 68-67 loss overall.”

MTBC congratulated the victors and wished them good luck in the next round.

On the plus side MTBC won convincingly yesterday on 3 rinks to 1 in the County Top Club against Three Mile Cross. Sophie Lack won 21-3 in the singles.

Sophie admits that bowls can be a cruel and frustrating game “I still love it though, so happy and grateful to be outside in the sunshine.”

Sophie wants people to know that they are absolutely crying out for junior under 31 females in Berkshire. Sophie is keen to tell anyone and everyone that bowls is a great game and if they want to come and have a go they should get in touch. “I’ll happily show them what it’s all about,” says Sophie enthusiastically. “I started when I was 20, I’m 34 now and I can’t ever see myself giving up this amazing sport.”

Let’s celebrate our recent win against Woodley last Tuesday 30thMay.

Maidenhead indeed hosted Woodley winning 2 matches, drawing 1 and only losing 1. Well done everyone.

Overall we won by 77 to 56 with the highlight of the match being a magnificent 25 to 10 success by Richard Smith and his team plus a 24 to 13 win by Peter Herke and his compatriots.

Near the end of the match we had an unexpected surprise when the automatic sprinkling system decided to join in the action. Although it was very swiftly switched off let’s say it was drenching applause for what had been a good natured although competitive occasion.

HARD FOUGHT BY OUR NOBLE D's

We lost the match against Wokingham D team by 45:60 but we did win 21:18 on one rink skipped by Robert Gallagher with Robert Knight and new bowler Lee Morey.

Robert Gallagher had an excellent game saving many points when we were several shots down and then in the last few ends make sure that we secured a victory. Lee Morey had an encoraging and pleasing start to his time with the club. He had the pleasure of being on the jack with his last wood on the last end and the opposition could not beat it . That gave us a satisfying win by 3 shots.

The other two rinks tried hard to hold the league leaders but the opposition kept their lead by playing long jacks very successfully and we lost overall.
