Kingsteignton Away Match Report

Not good news I'm afraid. Last night Christow travelled to Kingsteignton for the seconf match in the Teignbridge League. As Trevor was unable to attend and lead his team into battle, the cattle prod was handed over to Brad as Vice Captain. Both matches before tea went Kingsteignton’s way, one more than the other. Mat 1 (Beryl, Carol & Tom) started well but were on the back foot when they reached the final end and lost by 1 shot 13 - 14. Mat 2 (Mary, Edwin & Neil) could have done with that cattle prod as they were never in the game and finished 1 - 19 down. After tea Christow came out fighting and on Mat 1 (Maureen, Geoff & Jim) took the lead early on and held it to the end of the game and finished 15 - 8. Mat 2 (Chloe, Mark & Brad) had a very competitive match on what was a very slow mat. The final end saw Christow holding 4 shots which would have given them a draw, but Derek skipping for Kingsteignton took second shot with his final bowl. Final score 8 - 11. A nice evening of bowls, shame about the result.
