WHITLAND LADIES 4 pts. TENBY ARCHES LADIES 2
16th May 2015

There was a mass exodus from Tenby Bowling Club last Saturday as the Arches ladies and the men's team travelled to Whitland, the ladies to play a league game and the men to play their second fixture in the Carruthers Shield competition. With all rinks occupied, there was an added sense of competitiveness across the green. On rink five. Alison had Helen, Audrey and Lynn supporting her. They seemed unmoved by what was going on around them, reaching the halfway stage 10 shots to five in the lead, and that's how the Arches rink score remained for the next seven ends. During this unproductive period, the Whitland rink, skipped by Cally Jones. added 13 shots without reply. There was no way back for the Arches rink, losing a further three shots on the last end and their battle by 21 shots to 12. On the outside rink, the opposite was happening. The Whitland rink skipped by Viv Kerrison raced to a 14 shots to seven lead at the midway period and all looked lost for the Arches ladies, but the fightback was about to start. It was the 13th end that was to prove unlucky for the Whitland ladies. They conceded four shots, then a further 10 in the remaining eight ends. Captain Carol skipped to rink with Gerry calling the shots at third, supported by Mair and Liz, to complete the fightback to win by 21 shots to 18 and secure two league points. Whitland, however, won the game overall by 39 shots to 33 and picked up four league points. Tenby Arches ladies are sponsored by Tenby House.
