MIXED FORTUNES AT COUNTY JUNIOR SINGLES
Oakley Bowling Club
Yesterday began disappointingly for Oakley players in the Bowls Hampsire Junior Singles Champiomship. The 2019 runner up Heather Statham decided to withdraw because, if successful, she is unlikely to be able to represent Hampshire at the Nationals at Leamington and then, in the Men's event, Ashley Nethercliffe was disqualified after arriving late following an accident on the M3. Alice Lovett was, however, able to play and she won her game against Kiera Patel of Milton Park Ladies but in the final, struggling to find line and length on a Banister Park green that was forever changing in the sun, she lost 15-21 against the more consistent Mollie Firth also of Milton Park Ladies. Alice will be disappointed to miss out on the title but congratulations go to her for finishing runner up.
