FUN Loving Lads came up against Hemyock hoping for a comfortable victory in the Men's League at Wellington Bowling Club.

Sadly, for the Fun Lovers, there was not much fun to be had. Ian Hollingsworth, Steve Lovell, Kevin Austin and skip Andy Copping won the first end by one shot but then the wheels came off.

Adrian Hay, Tony Austin, John Stevens and skip John Bendle's Hemyock were on top form and they collected four shots in the the third and then a five and a three in the next few ends to finish with 14 shots to the Fun Loving Lads’ three after eight ends.

The Lads were not having much fun but they picked themselves up and began a late fight back. They collected five shots in the next five ends but it was too little too late and the bell went for time. 

The overall score was Hemyock 16, Fun Loving Lads 8, so the Hemyock team were the worthy winners.

A good match was enjoyed by everyone who took part but the Fun Loving Lads who have done well so far this season will have to come back and fight another day.

Indoor competitions at the Wellington club are now in full swing.
