HEATHER CLAIMS BIG SCALPS
Oakley Bowling Club
Congratulations to Heather Statham who, today, had a marvellous series of games in the Northern Area rounds of the County Two Wood Singles played at Oakley. In her first game she was drawn against Rosemary Corney of St Mary Bourne, the former National Pairs Champion and mercilessly exploited her opponents weakness on long jacks to gain a comfortable victory. Another win followed against R Powell of Yateley before she met her second Johns Trophy player of the day, Hook's Muriel Sadler. Winning again Heather found herself in a position where one more victory would see her through to the County quarter finals to be played at Southampton. It had been a long day for a 16 year old and now Heather found herself up against the reigning County Two Champion Sarah Bowen of Cove. It was a tight game but eventually Heather came through 16-13 to secure her place in the Last Eights. Congratulations to Heather and commiserations to Nicole Rogers who nearly made it an Oakley double, but lost in her final match to Janice Doran of Cove.
