Devon A County Team Match Report against Surrey

Today the Devon A County team made their way up to Tamworth to meet Surrey in the first round of the knockout stage in the ICC competition. Representing Christow were, Carol, Ian, Jim, Neil, Sean and Tom (reserve). Sean was playing his first match for the County and was a great asset as number one in Dave Tarr's triples team. The first session got under way to a great start with both the Singles and Pairs winning on all mats. Then it was the turn of the triples and fours to play, they carried on with the same high standard of bowls and won both of the triples games and one of the fours with the other fours team only missing out by 1 shot. After lunch Devon did not let up on the pressure and won on all mats in the four disciplines. Shots scored were 250 Devon 122 Surrey. This gave Devon a record points score of 38 - 2. Well done to everyone. The team travel up to Daventry next weekend to play the next round.
