ATBC 91 v Wendover 66

It's always a pleasure to welcome the local team from Wendover & even better to play in such sunny conditions.  Everyone was remarking how well the green was bowling & some were caught out by the speed & width alike.  The match started with all rinks being very close & some great skip shots to score some crucial points.  But as the match progressed ATBS edged in front & never looked back, we only lost 1 rink.  Well done to everyone who took part.

Highest winning rink for ATBC was Linda Hewins, Daphne Shearer & Roger Fox.
