Marine Gardens Bowling Club celebrate start of 2025 season

The 2025 season is now in full swing with 2 warm-up matches played in less than warm conditions followed by a friendly match away to Goring Manor. This finished at 2 games apiece with Marine Gardens gaining the overall victory with a 66-43 shot total. Top Rink honours went to Trevor Punnett, Mark Berriman, David Barlow and skip Norman Deegan with a solid 22-8 win.

Who is pulling the strings in this match with Steyning?

This was followed by 2 Brodie Tray matches, the first being at home to Steyning who ran out 3-1 winners with a 67-60 shot victory. Terry Ashley, Nick Sinden, Pamela Chambers and skip Mark Berriman salvaged 2 points with a fine 16-9 victory. Shoreham then spoiled our visit by defeating us with the same scoreline 3-1 (73-63). On this occasion skip Duncan Gayler steadied the ship and steered teammates Keith White and Alan Paterson to a 16-12 win. In both matches Marine Gardens held the lead after 9 ends. Every thing did change after tea!

Back on the home front at Marine Gardens the Ladies were on the wrong side of a 4-2(100-79) scoreline in their match against the Gents. This was a most enjoyable fixture played in a good spirit in lovely sunshine with the sun shining brightest on Fred Knight, Larry Abrahams and skip John Dorkings who posted a 20-9 winning score.

Let us hope that the sun will continue to shine on the special upcoming events.
