MEN BOW OUT OF TOP CLUB
Oakley Bowling Club
This morning at Cove, Oakley were looking to bounce back from their recent defeat in the County Club Championship as they took on the hosts in the National Top Club Competition. The first point went Oakley's way as Terry Heath defeated Ian Taylor in the 2 wood singles but Cove levelled the scores when Chris Cranham beat Ashley Nethercliffe in the Four Wood Singles. By now Cove were storming to victory in the Pairs and with Oakley. comfortably in front in the Triples, the match was at 15 ends finely balanced with Cove leading by just 2 shots in the Fours. The Oakley four failed, however, to raise their game and eventually Cove had a comfortable win. Cove will play Alton in the next round.
Oakley scores: Terry Heath won 15-9, Ashley Nethercliffe lost 11-21. Ric Newson and Bob Goodyear lost 5-28, Steve Devonish, Sean Lassman and Fred Norris won 17-15, Malcolm Grime, Darren Hyde, Spencer Kerley and Ted Brown lost 17-30
