Annual sports day

13.09.12 SPORTS DAY REPORT

Sports day was held on Wednesday (12^th September) during the afternoon and there were two sports played golf and bowls.The weather forecast was for showers and clearing after 4 pm.This did not happen and the rain was of biblical proportions consequently the bowls match was shortened as was the golf tournament.

BOWLS MATCH.

As usual there was a team of ladies and men and the plan was to play 10 ends. This did not happen . After three ends there was clear winner in the ladies team,so they retreated to the pavillion.Whilst the men battled on for 6 ends before there was a play off.Everybody was wearing wet weather gear but to no avail because by the end of the match many were wet through as was their foot wear. The pitch became a mass of puddles and as bowls ploughed through the water they were slowed up.
