After some welcoming words by the home Captain play began. Soon the Billingshurst players found their line and length, taking a nine-shot lead after just five ends of play. 

At the halfway point this had increased to some 27 shots, good play by all players on both sides and appreciation of some excellent shots, it was lawn bowls at its best, good sportsmanship, good company, fine bowling and excellent weather.

The second half of the match seemed to just fly by as the away side ran out worthy winners by 35 shots.
