Tenby v Guest Memorial

Joe Pat and NeilTENBY 81 v  GUEST MEMORIAL 76

The Layton and Co Solicitors sponsored Tenby side were involved in the first of the Knock out stages of the Carruthers last Saturday. Visitors to the Sutton Street green were a Merthyr based side named Guest Memorial, who were accompanied by a busload of supporters, who were certainly up for the challenge ahead.  Conditions for the second week running unfortunately were once again very detrimental to good Bowling.Rink 1 consisted of Luke Rees, Ashley Hooper, Peter Day and Andrew Muskett. The Tenby four got off to a slow start, only scoring once on the first 6 ends, try as they might they could not get back into the contest and lost out to a disappointing 9 shot defeat.

Neil Dickinson, Joe Richards, Pat Currie and Craig Guymer were on Rink 2. This was a topsy turvy contest with Craig and his men racing into early lead only to be pegged back at the hJB and Cameronalfway stage. The opposition then pulled away, but the Tenby rink dug in and managed to claw their way back into the match ending up with an honourable draw. Top rink of the Day was Cameron White, John Baggott, Luke Guymer and Paul Diment.  The Tenby lads pushed hard throughout the match with Skip Paul leading by example, with some outstanding bowling. A 10 shot winning margin was the final outcome.

Dai Spencer, Jon Webb, Mike Jackson and John Roberts were drawn on Rink 4. This was a close battle from the off, it was all square at the halfway point, but JR and his men took the initiative in the second half running out 4 shot winners. So a closely fought 5 shot  win was the outcome of the match, with what was a somewhat lacklustre performance from the Tenby team, the overall feeling was that they had just managed to “get out of Jail” and would need to up their game for the next round. Credit must be given to Guest who treated this as their cup final and were even 47-44 up at the halfway point, but the Tenby lads just had enough to turn the game in their favour.  The next Carruthers match will be another home tie against a strong Aberystwyth side in a fortnight’s time.
