Another one down

Lovely bright sunny morning for our first County Senior Pairs match. Two bowls each over twenty-one ends. EBF rules, so no live bowls in the ditch and only those within two metres count.

We're playing at home, but no advantage since our opponents are also St Ives players. For the first ten ends there's nothing in it, five each with no side scoring more than a single. Then their skip really gets his eye in. We're constantly on the defensive. End up finishing a couple of ends early since we can't catch them.

That leaves two County competitions to play, a first round Senior Singles and second round Two Bowls Rinks. Will have to reconsider entering so many next year. Really clogs up the diary.
