Short Mat Bowling Association
MATCH REPORT
On Sunday 16th October, the Bucks welcomed Surrey SMBA for their first round match in the Inter County Competition. Surrey were in confident mood having won their first match in the series against Herts with a convincing 31 points to 9.
The match started well with Bucks singles winning one game 10-9 and losing one 11-12. The pairs lost both games 13-15 and 12-16, so at the end of round one the scores were 46 shot to 52 and 2 points to 6 in favour of Surrey.
The triples won one game and drew the other and the fours won one and lost one, but the scores in the second round were Bucks 40 shots to Surrey 31 and 5 points to 3. That meant the half time scores were 86 shots and 7 points to Bucks and 83 shots and 9 points to Surrey. All very tight and some excellent bowling from both sides.
After a short break the singles and pairs played again, with Bucks winning the two singles games 13-12 and 20-10. The pairs lost one game 11-12 but won the other 21-8 giving Bucks a good boost in shots to take the bonus points in both disciplines.
In the final round, the triples won one game and lost the other with both fours losing, but fortunately the 2 points from the triples game were enough to tip the balance in favour of Bucks. The final scores were Bucks 177 shots 21 points to Surrey 165 shots to 19 points.
An excellent match, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who took part and was played in a great spirit.
Thanks to Surrey for a really hard fought game and well done to Bucks for a well deserved victory.
