Vistabella Bowls Club
VISTABELLA experienced some very tight games throughout the divisions this week. In the Monday leagues Vistabella Eagles, away to Greenlands Beeches, in the Voyager Division drew in games but lost out on shots to go down 5– 7, with shots for 74 against 80, really close. The Buggies in the same division at home to Greenlands Chestnuts won 9– 3, shots 102– 67. In the Discovery Division, another really tight game saw the Drivers at home to Monte Mar Matadors, again, drawing on games but losing on shots 5– 7, with shots 76– 91. Vista Bella Albatrosses in the Enterprise Division did well winning away to La Siesta Apollos 10– 2, finishing 118 shots for and 70 against, with some notable scores of 2612, 2511 and 246.
In the Winter League another massive win for Vistabella against Bonalba, of 14– 0, with shots 165– 80. Notable scores were Pam Lockett and Maggie Furness 34– 12 and Carol Thorpe and Kath Reid 38– 14.
The Friday leagues produced some ups and downs. The Paradors trounced Greenlands Ash 12– 0, finishing 138 shots to 45, with notable scores of 36– 6, 31– 7 and 299, whereas the Conquistadors in the same division away to Quesada Saints were beaten 2– 10, although the shots were close at 72 for and 97 against, it has to be said that the former are the ‘ super C’ side. In the B Division, the Picadors went down at home to the Monte Mar Matadors 5– 7, with shots 89 to 104. It was another very close encounter with shots as the decider, reflecting a similar result to the Monday meeting.
