The
scramble for the Mark Fielding Eastcote Cricket Club intensified last Friday as
it dawned on teams that there were just two more rounds to establish a place in
the top four to qualify for the all-important finals-day. The next exciting
bowls round is at 8pm this Friday the 8th of March at the
Club.

Controversy: Earlier in the week, controversy had reigned as it
became clear the highly paid Bowls points counting guy had one job and he had
screwed up. He had wrongly recorded that Bowling Stones had beaten WrongUns.
The Eastcote Indoor Bowls headquarters received representations from three
separate WrongUns executives pointing out the error. Contact was conspicuously
absent from Bowling Stones proving beyond any doubt that the results had indeed
been wrongly recorded. The highly paid Bowls points counting guy has been given
a final warning and a calculator.
Stunts
v WrongUns: A defeat today would have
spelt the end of the season for Stunts, who are pound-for-pound the best team
in the league (OK, they are also a bunch of skinny guys). For WrongUns, an
unbeaten record was at stake.
The
match stood up to its billing – highly competitive and of the greatest quality,
one wholly appreciated by the bowls public. Facing defeat, a massive 4-0 round
in favour of Stunts saw them snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. This meant
that Stunts live to fight another day and WrongUns lose their unbeaten record.
Immediately
after the match key WrongUns players, Captain Adam and Sam were in conference
in their office… OK, to be more precise, adjacent cubicles in the toilet
discussing the match. Their conclusion was unanimous – the outcome was shit.
Carpet
Burners: Captain Natalie had filled her
oversees player slot with a Czech international … at ice hockey. Luca was a
natural, playing some fantastic bowls from the outset. Asked how the experience
was playing indoor bowls he said “Bowls is just like ice-hockey but without the
fighting”.
Loose
Women / Angry Birds: It has been
remarkable to see the sharp improvement of a number of players. A case in point
was the magnificent display last Friday by Loose Woman, Captain Louise and
Angry Birds Corrine and Courtney.
The
greatest improvement this year has been shown by Angry Birds and Loose Women.
They play almost as if they have a 3 points start! Today the resurgent Loose
Women beat Bowling Stones to reach fourth place on the points table! The Angry
Birds put up an amazing show and missed only by a whisker to overcome
tournament favourites Few Good Men! The tournament is hotting up indeed!
