Sunday 24 March - near miss
Our short mat correspondent has reported that a team from Canterbury (Merrilyn Lee, Sue Trott and Michael Hutchison) made great progress in the Hothfield Short Mat Open Triples today, only losing against the hosts by a measure on the last end of the Semi-Final.
It is good to see the enthusiasm of the short-mat bowlers of the Club as they make progress in the East Kent Short Mat League and open tournaments such as Hothfield.
Saturday 23 March - Short Mat Final's Day
The Final's Day started with the battle for the title of King or Queen of the Midweek League. Over 50 contenders had been whittled down to just three for today. The winner was Phil Denny. More of him anon.
In the Novice singles, John Smith defeated Peter Fawcett and now ceases to be a novice for the purposes of short mat competition.
In the Drawn Pairs the powerful pairing of Bryan Nicholson and Karen Owen was just too strong for David Anderson and Phil Denny.
Finally, in an exceptionally high quality Singles final, Phil Denny just got the better of Bob Moore. If he looks a little tired it is not surprising, as this final was the fourth match he had played today.
The number of touchers in the final was extraordinary and even tested the athleticism of head marker, Bob Keen.
A lot of work goes into these events and thanks go to Karen for arranging the day, the bar staff, the markers and last, but certainly not least, the cake-makers.
Friday 22 March - Isaac is at it again
Having obtained his Kent badge with us last summer in the Unbadged Singles, Isaac Tompkins is on the way to getting a double by reaching the Final of the County Unbadged Singles in the indoor variation of our game, having just won his semi-final at Mote Park.
He will compete in the Final at Folkestone Indoor on Sunday 21 April. Andy Ferguson will be finding the details of times etc. so for more information contact him.
Well done Isaac!
