Saturday ESL Redhill
New boys to the ESL, Redhill, came to town on Saturday and what an extremely close and enjoyable match it was.
Maybe the stars were Alec, John H., Kevin, and Peter H. who fought back from a significant deficit to draw the match on the last end 18-18. It was certainly the noisiest rink!
Or maybe it was James, Peter R., John B., and David who played a close game of 'now you see me, now you don't' throughout the whole evening, only to also end on a draw 17-17.
So it was all down to the last rink, where a closely contested match, nip-and-tuck all evening, was 17-17 after 20 ends. All on the last end then, when their lead put two excellent bowls right on the jack and neither Martin, Dennis, Trevor, or John S. could better them.
It was good to see Dennis though back on the green and bowling well.
No points were at stake in this match as this is a trial year for Redhill.
