St Mary’s
travelled to Crake on a rather damp day.The
match was won by way of sterling
performances from those Bowdon stalwarts
Brian Rust and John Lucas in the singles.In
the morning John enjoyed having a bisque,
and managed a good comeback win against
Howard. Brian
beat John Shakespeare in a dramatic [pun
there if you look for it!!] manner. Fish
chips and mushy peas were served for lunch.In
the afternoon Brian and John both won with
very late large breaks.John
came back from 7 down to score his last 2
points as time ran out, for a 2 point win.Brian
was over 20 points down against Ian, with
about half an hour to go and decided to use
his bisques [very clever strategy that!] in
what proved to be the deciding game.The
bisques eventually ran out but Brian held
his nerve [Alan, Kay and John were all
scared stiff] and managed to get one point
ahead with time running out.Ian
hit in on his last turn but failed to run a
rather long angled hoop. Well
done Brian.Match
won.Alan
drove very safely and Kay provided some very
nice butterscotch toffees and fruity energy
bars.
