Sir John Bayley beat Bridgewater by 9 at Greenfields Hump

Sir John Bayley edged out Bridgewater in a thriller at Greenfields by 9 chalks. Spokesman Rob Burroughs say “it was an excellent game of bowls between two teams giving it there all. Bridgewater held the advantage early on with two good wins by Matt Blackhurst 9 and Greg Fordham 13, but we battled and kept in there to keep us in the game. It was only after Aidy Ashley came off winning 9, playing very well on a round peg, that we went into the lead and Gary did excellent to get the chalks we needed to get over the line, despite Tim fighting back when Gary only needed to get the one point we needed. It was a very tricky green but an excellent surface prepared by Greenfields, and thank you to Bridgewater for being magnanimous in defeat and wishing us all the best in the next round. We would like to wish them all the best for the season, they are a top set of lads!”
