Vistabella Bowls Club

WITH the Valencian Championships over and the Southern and South Alicante divisions not starting until next week, it has been a reasonably quiet on the bowling front, but behind the scenes it has been a beehive of activity, preparing and instructing captains and players about the security and operating protocols for the protection of all against Covid19.

However, the clubs internal competitions for last year were finally completed with: Lynne Bishop and Maggie Furness beating Barbara Brown and Sue Wilson to win the Ladies’ Pairs; Maggie Furness beating Sue Kemp to win the Ladies’ Singles; Lynne Bishop, Carol and Gary Thorpe beating Brian Dunn, Barbara and Arthur Brown to win in the Mixed Triples; Martin Foulcer, Charlie Watkins and Gary Thorpe beating Brian Pointon, Derek Stevenson and Pat Rafferty to win in the Men’s Triples.

Vistabella were away to La Siesta in the Winter League, scoring a decisive win of 2– 12, with shots 69– 119. With good wins for Richard Willey and Maggie Furness 7– 22, and Kath Reid and Carol Thorpe 826.
