Christmas Party

Last night we held our Christmas Party at Christow. The evening was a great success and was enjoyed by all. The bowls on the evening consisted of 6 teams playing a three mat challenge with a difference, not a jack in sight. There was a lucky dip for landing on prize wining squares and a prize for the overall points winners at the end of the challenge. The winners were Trevor, Steve, Edwin & Maureen, well done to them. Lots of food bought along by us all was then consumed, very nice it was too. A big thank you to Trevor for putting in the extra effort in organising the evening and to everyone for the lovely food.
Below are a few pictures from the evening.

Christow 'A' hosted Exminster 'A' last night in the Exeter League. Sean, Jim and Trevor went one shot down on the first end but the remainder of the game was controlled by Christow. The match was played on the top mat (med fast) and finished with Christow winning by 30 shots to Exminsters 5. Well done Christow.

Exeter League Results for Christow B and C

Last night Both Christow 'B' and Christow 'C' played a match each in the Exeter League. The 'B' team (Janet, Edwin & Neil) hosted Nomads 'A' at Christow. They got off to a shaky start and by the fourth end were 7 shots to 1 down. Christow then scored on the next 5 ends and took a 2 shot advantage which they built on during the remainder of the game. Final Score Christow 'B' 15 Nomads 'A' 11.
Christow 'C' (Ava, Jeanette & Mark) were playing away to Broadclyst 'A'. The match was very competitive and a tight affair, Christow unfortunately lost the match by a single shot. I am not aware of the final score.
Well done everyone.

Buckfast Away Match Report

Last night (11th Dec) Christow travelled to Buckfast Bowls Club to play our fifth match of the season. It was a fairly even game with a win and loss in both sessions. The first session finished all level on shots as can bee seen from the scores below. In the session after tea, the team on Mat 1 built up a 13 shot lead over Buckfast. Mat 2 narrowly missed out on a win by 1 shot. This gave Christow the extra 2 bonus points. Final scores on the night were Christow 6 Buckfast 4.
Session 1.
Mat 1 - Christow 9 Buckfast 13      Mat 2 - Christow 12 Buckfast 8
Session 2.
Mat 1 - Christow 20 Buckfast 7        Mat 2 - Christow 10 Buckfast 11
Well done to all involved, good result.

ICC Rinks Result for A Team

The Devon County A Team took 16 players (4 teams of 4) up to Donyatt in Somerset to meet Dorset, Hereford and Avon in the ICC Rinks Qualifiers. Devon met Dorset and Hereford before lunch (lovely roast dinner) and Avon in the last session afterwards. Scores on all four mats are taken in each round to find the eventual winners and runners up. Both then go onto the next round. With Devon finishing second to Dorset a trip to Daventry in January is on the cards for selected players.
