A Great Taster Session Followed by a Tough League Match

This morning’s taster session was the first under the Mayor of London’s FreeSport programme and saw an amazing 17 people on the green enjoying the sunny weather and the good company. At the end of the morning we welcomed our 14th new club member this year Anne S and look forward to getting to know her over the coming weeks and months.

This afternoon we hosted South London to the green as we played the latest of the club’s league matches. The first half of each game was close with Cherry, George, Sabrina and Barry 10 – 14 down after 12 ends. Dropping a six on the 18th end took the game out of reach with South London eventually winning 27 – 16. Helen, Anne B, Pete and Martin faired better with a strong second half performance turning a level 10 – 10 score after 11 ends into a 24 – 19 win. Hector, Betty, Vernon and Neil also found themselves level at 10 – 10 after 11 ends but the second half went to South London including a great conversion shot which saw Wimbledon Park go from 5 shots up to 6 shots down with one bowl! Final score 15 – 27. Match result 2 – 8 (55 shots to 73).
