Cup Finals

The Finals of the two Vardre Deganwy Cup Competitions were held yesterday. Members of the club had battled with each other throughout the summer to reach the finals. Many club members turned up to spectate and help to organise, mark and shout encouragement. Sean played against Gwyneth, and Ian played against Diane. Congratulations to the Winners Ian and Sean and consolation to the Runners-Up. No weapons other than bowling skills were used during the matches.

Pulley System

Another tip for bowlers: If you don’t want to get caught out on the green, make sure you remember your belt for your shorts or trousers. Here John P demonstrates the point.

Looking Good

Jack and Alan plus a bowl looking on

Alan tries to out-stare a jack but it’s not giving in. As far as it is known, they are both still on the green trying to out-do each other!

Flying, Climbing, Dancing

If you were unable to attend yesterday’s performance by Vertical Dance Kate Lawrence, here are just a few images of what you missed of this North Wales initiative. Very inventive and entertaining. Watch out for them at other venues. Find out more on their website (Click Here).

Tip Toe Through the Tulips

Not quite, but here’s a little tip if that bowl is slipping in your hand:

Steve B demonstrates his use of a glove to help with his grip on the bowl. This can work equally well on a dry day or a wet day.

Competing for Promotion

Vardre Deganwy ‘B’ Team at Home on Tuesday versus Denbigh ‘B’. Left to Right: Captain John B; Rog; Elaine; Ray; Hazel; Tom C; Carol B; Ann; Bob; Gwyn E.

Our ‘B’ Team kept alive their hopes of promotion at the end of the season yesterday by beating their opponents 9:3. Still with a game in hand over the team in 3rd place (just above our team), and with 2-matches left to play, good wins coupled with good results for the other teams playing the current 2nd-placed team, could give an outside chance to our bowlers. However, 3rd-place overall is a really good possibility.

“Keep it Going”, is often heard as an encouraging call on the green, and so it also applies to the final two games. Good luck everyone.

So Near and Yet So Far

Vardre Deganwy ‘C’ Team yesterday at Bryn Newydd. Front Row: Carole; Rosina; Sue B; Bunty. Back Row: Alan W; Captain John P; Kevin; Keith. Right: Derek.

The team members all played very well at Bryn Newydd, with a very creditable 6-wins-to-4. The Team just missed out on winning the Aggregate by only a single-point (160:159), so the final result was a 6-All Draw. Remember, that it is always a good result when you don’t lose an Away match. Congratulations to the Team for playing so well and ending the season in such impressive fashion.
