ROCKWELL Green Short Mat Bowls Club were pleased to welcome old friends Hemyock for the first leg of a double header (second leg next week, with Rockwell holding a commanding lead following the first game).

Details (Rockwell names first) - Mat 1 Laurine, John St & John Young only allowing June, Brenda & Dennis two ends . The Green trio could do no wrong, gaining a rather large 21-4 victory. Mat 2 Joy, Reg & Brian were in devatesting form against Di,Tony & John, again only allowing the Hemyock trio 2 ends, thus coming away with a 16-3 victory .

The normal short break for tea /coffee was taken,with chat about who and what they all had been doing since last time they met.

The restart saw Dave D, Bob & Mike R on mat 3 against Diane, Tony & Christine . Again the home trio were playing well restricting the visitors to just two ends for a 19 -2 home win. Last up on mat 4 Graham, Bill & Cass were far too good for June, Brenda & John only allowing the visitors one shot on end 7 to come away with a 16-1 victory

While the Green scored a comprehensive win, they can be sure the second leg at Hemyock will be a much harder match.
