Haverfordwest 127 Five Arches 45

After last week's game against reigning champions Tenby, the Five Arches faced yet another tough foe in Haverfordwest.

A number of players were missing and some new faces were brought in to face the challenge.

With the captain missing, vice-captain Ben stepped up to the plate to ensure everything was organised and well run.

Rink three saw, Johno skipping for the first time this season and he and his rink of Harry, Fred and Tony produced a very creditable performance. Leading by a single shot after 10 ends, they fought bravely in the second half as the Haverfordwest quartet applied the pressure, but eventually went down by 21 shots to 12.

On rink four, Peter and his team of Stuart, Five Arches newbie Eirwyn and seasoned campaigner Mike had a tough time against former Welsh Under 18 champion Ryan Thomas. Trailing by 17 shots to four after 10 ends, they battled on, but finally succumbed by 37 shots to seven.

Our rink on fire, Ray accompanied by a couple of Bens and Steve again showed their potential. Leading by 12 shots to seven after nine ends, it looked very promising, however, Chris Court is a class bowls player, lying two shots down, he produced a shot to change this to seven shots up and changed the whole game. The boys from Haverfordwest then took control and ran out winners by 33 shots to 19.

Clive and his rink of Joe, Brian and Jim, also had a tough time out on rink six. Trailing by 20 shots at tea, they could never get into the game and eventually lost by 36 shots to seven.

A tough game against tough opposition, many thanks to Harry, Fred, Eirwyn and Brian who were playing their first games for Five Arches this season.

Next game is home to Saundersfoot on Sunday.

Harry Meades, Fred Broomhead, Tony Powling, Jon Hubbard 12 PDS Jenkins 21.
