Buckinghamshire
Short Mat Bowling Association
MATCH REPORT
On Sunday 6th November, Bucks played host to Hertfordshire. This match always tends to be a very friendly affair, as many of the Bucks squad enjoy the games organised by Herts during the summer months.
As in the previous match against Northants, the singles and pairs kicked off with 4 wins and the singles went on to win their other two games while one of the pairs dropped just 1 point to lose 12-13. However, this secured the aggregate score and bonus points giving Bucks a total of 18 points towards their total.
Unfortunately the triples came up against some extremely strong players and lost heavily in both sections giving Herts all 8 points and the 2 bonus points. The fours, however, came strong in the second half and won both games by good margins and with this added to the draw from Brian Latham’s Bellingdon team in the first half, gave Bucks the 2 bonus points to secure the match 190 shots to 160 and 25 points to 15.
The match was played in good spirit and everyone bowled extremely well. John Holland was kept busy as umpire for the day and it was good to see some interest from the long mat bowlers with whom we shared the rinks.
Another great win for the County squad. Well done everyone, let’s keep it going
