Christow played their penultimate match last night in this seasons Teignbridge League. 12 players from Kingsteignton visited Christow to see how the 10 points on offer would be shared out. With the top spot in the League still up for grabs, Christow were determined to take as many points as possible. As can be seen from the results below we managed to walk away with all 10 points. The match on Mat 1 before tea went down to the wire. Steve and his team were 1 shot behind going into the final end. They manged to pick up 2 shots after some great bowls to win by 1 shot. The remaining matches were not so dramatic.The games were played in a lovely spirit as usual. A great result for Christow and a big thank you from Brad (Captain) to all who played last night and achieved a well deserved win.

Silverton A, Lose their Impressive 100% Winning Record

Last evening (Tuesday) Christow 'A' travelled to Silverton to take on their 'A' team.
The first few ends went as expected with Silverton building a lead  7-3 after six ends but Christow hung in there winning the seventh by one shot. This was the impetus we needed, winning the next five ends. Silverton won the twelfth end by two shots, at this stage the score was 9-9. Christow then changed up a gear winning the last three ends. Final score 15-9!
It was a competitive and exciting match played in the true traditions of short mat bowls.
Finally on behalf of Christow can I congratulate Silverton 'A' who will be the league champions
