Match Report - 08 May 2026, Avon Bowling Club (est 1924) Pickering Triples 2 lost to Stratford 2 CV37 7AC
Alas and alack, not the start to the season the Pickering 2 squad would have liked. Against a very strong Stratford 2nd team which managed to include our former first team captain and Geoff Moran, who had recently captained a Bowls England team we were unable to prise any points from our hosts.
After a splendid opening 6 ends where we were ahead by 5 shots to 4 stand in skip Jon, Nik and Kevin were unable to contain their opponents for the remaining 12. Kim, Terry and the versatile duo of Jarvis and Dean played some great individual shots but could not quite match their opponents.
Our third triple of Ken, Mark Sayers and Dave Waite were 15 -2 down after 7 ends and I feared the worst but a tremendous comeback was only thwarted by the last bowl of the day resulting in an 18-19 reverse.
We wont play many better teams this year and we have the comfort of knowing our next game is at home and the bar will be open.
