2023 - TRIPLES CHAMPIONS
Roger Squire, Col Lewis & Corey Fitzgerald
Sunday 23rd July 9am saw four teams play two games of triples to determine the two teams who would qualify to play in the afternoon final.
In near perfect conditions the semi-final winners were the teams of L Keene, T Tremain, & J Sparkes and C Lewis, C Fitzgerald & R Squire.
The stage was set, lunch was had and off they went at 1pm. Twenty five ends later we would have a result.
After five ends Laurie Keene’s team were holding a 7 to 3 shot lead. However, as so happens in bowls a team will get stuck on a number no matter how hard they try to progress. By the twelfth end Col Lewis’ team came roaring back and were leading 14 to 7. They consolidated their position to 18 to 10 after the seventeenth end. A mini resurgence by Laurie Keene’s team brought the score to 18 to 15. However, the team of Col Lewis, Corey Fitzgerald and Rodger Squire pulled away eventually winning 24 to 15.
Thanks to both teams for a most absorbing game of bowls.
