A Dismal Start to the Season
Although there are many plusses going into the new season we are left looking back on poor results at an early stage.
We were defeated at home to Leeholme 4-1 with B. Hopkins, A. Wilkes and M. Snelling being the only winners. Then both teams were defeated in the Works League. A Team defeated at home 2.5 to 1.5 and the B Team defeated 3-1 at the Dene against the JUC Club.
EBA action is getting underway but again not with the results wanted. Bill Morland was defeated heavily at The RA by Tony Bousfield. After a close start on what is the Countries worst bowling green 2 ends of a 3 and a 4 took the wind out of Bills sales and allowed Tony to eventually ease to victory.
The Mixed Fours Team of the full Hopkins family took place today also, despite leading for most of the game a disasterous last 3 ends where 12 shots were dropped ending their dream of National glory.
