Parrot Shield

The second leg of this annual tussle with our friends and rivals from Banwell saw Winscombe win by 16 shots. This followed our win at Banwell by 6 shots. President John Baker was delighted to receive the Shield from Banwell President Barry Taylor and victorious Captain Tony Dudley held the shield aloft.

As Captain Tony said after the match this was a team win but some need special mention......In the first leg a 22 shot win on Tommy Ellis's rink and a 10 shot win by Mike Adam's rink meant that once again we took a shot advantage back to Winscombe. This time however, it was not let slip and a fine win by Mike Adams rink by 16 shots ( despite dropping a 6 on the 20th end) and an 11 shot win by Mike Nash's rink (despite dropping a 5 on the19th end) saw Winscombe home by an aggregate 22 shots over the 2 legs.The Parrot Shield is back home where it belongs.

Men

In the Somerset League North Div 1 Winscombe A had an exciting end to their match with St Andrews A team. A good win by Mike Nash's rink meant the outcome of this fixture all depended on the last shot of the match by St Andrews skip Don Bailey. Winscombe skip Tony Dudley had delivered 2 perfect woods and Winscombe were holding 4 shots and looked like winning the match. Don had other ideas and carried the jack into the ditch securing 3 shots and the match by 1 shot.

In SCL North Div 2 Winscombe B continued their unbeaten run in the league this year with a 5 shot win over local rivals Banwell B. Wins on Mike Adam's rink and Tommy Ellis's rink secured the victory

Winscombe achieved the double over Clevedon in the Weston and District over 60's Triples League. Their win by 20 shots at home was largely due to an impressive 33 shot win on Mike Nash's rink. This followed an 8 shot win at Clevedon in May.

Opening Days - Saturday 17th April 2010 and Sunday 18th April 2010

On Saturday the President's wife Carol Baker opened the new season at Winscombe when she delivered the first wood on a beautiful day for playing bowls.

There then followed our traditional spider for a bottle of whisky in aid of our club charity The South West Children's Hospice. Together with a collection later we raised over £160. The men then enjoyed a friendly competitive match between the Presidents team (John Baker) and the Captains team(Tony Dudley) which resulted in a very close game . Tony's team winning 3 rinks and John's 2 but overall the President won by 1 shot. However, on this wonderful spring day the real winner was bowls. The ladies then treated us to a sumptuous supper in the Pavilion which rounded off a perfect day.

On Sunday we did it all again when the ladies had their Opening Day. Ladies Captain Helen Watson had organized a mixed match which again proved to be a close contest with no less than 3 rinks all being decided by 1 shot. Unfortunately one rink (Tony Watts) did not enter into the spirit of the day by winning on the captains rink by 17 shots !! Again, a lovely day for bowls finished off by an excellent supper provided by our fantastic ladies.

Tuesday 23rd March 2010

St Andrews v WBC - Triples Indoor (1 rink)

One of the The Club's best kept secrets is the long running indoor Triples match between a rink from St Andrews and a rink from WBC. This has taken place for over 20 years on Tuesday mornings throughout the indoor season. I am pleased to advise that WBC have retained the Cup for the 3rd Successive year with 2 games still to play. The Winscombe Triple was made up from :- Reg Burman,Ronnie Wootten,Mike Nash,Roger Knight and Ken Whatling . The fixture is played on a rolling weekly basis with the losing team getting 1 shot start the following week. Players change playing positions every 5 ends and coffee is taken after 8 ends. It is a very social morning but fiercely competitive. A cup is awarded to the winners but just like 'the ashes' is retained in the St Andrew's Trophy cabinet. Notalota people know that !
