CONTINUING their season of friendlies Rockwell Green shortmat bowlers welcomed Trull for a four-mat contest.
Green names first. Starting things off Lauraine, Syd & John Y entertained Edna, Carol & Heather. It was a very absorbing game with the score 6-6 until the ninth end. The Green eventually triumphed 9-6.
Next up Graham, Reg & John St were matched with Evan, Peter & Malcolm. The Trull trio pulled out all the stops to take the game 9-3.
Trull held a three-shot lead at the break and the Green knew they had a game on their hands.
Going into the second half, Joy, Dave D & Bob knew they had a battle on their hands against Gloriane, Evan & Peter. The lead changed three times over the first nine ends, and the sides were on 9 apiece with one to play. Fortune favoured the Green who took the end by three shots, 12-9, thus bringing the scores level.
Last to play John G, Bill & Brian against Steve, Heather & Malcolm. It stayed tight at three all after five ends but the Green then took three ends for an 8-3 advantage.
Try as they might, Trull just could not pull it back and the Green came out on top by 10-5, giving the Green an overall win by 34-29.
