South Ramsey chasing the top of the League with a 9-0 home victory

Port Erin visited South Ramsey on a chilly Friday to be left disappointed with coming away without a win. The South Ramsey girls are back on top form winning all their games. Sue Collier and new teammate Joyce Ogden both won 21-1. Joyce moved to the South Ramsey Team this season and seems to be coping well on the new home green, winning all her home games so far this season.

The closest game of the night was Castletown B 139-135 Ballaugh B (5-4) The newly formed Ballaugh side will be disappointed to have been so close to a win losing out by just 4 points. But keep it going ladies as I’m sure that the win isn’t far away.

Port St Mary 130-173 Castletown A (2-7)

Photo: Jayne Smith

The Ladies Association held the Ladies Triples on Sunday 14th April at Peel Sunset bowling club with an entry of 13 Triples. The weather was fine although a chilly wind on peel promenade. The day saw five preliminary matches to get the event going. From memory last year’s preliminary round had a game that went on for over an hour and a half and today’s games were no different with Marown’s Debbie Leece, Rebecca Teare and Helen Withers dragging their game out 21-17 against Peels Jo, Louise and Helen. 

At the Quarter Final stage Castletown’s Hannah, Hilary and Tracy won 21-15 against Katie, Emma and Rebecca. South Ramsey’s Fiona, Kim and Jenny won 21-14 against homegreeners Beverley, Diane and Terri. Marown/Nobles Linda, Philippa and Sue won 21-9 against Pauline, Sue and Kerry. Marown’s Debbie, Rebecca and Helen 21-17 against Julie, Joyce and Lynda. 

This left the semi-final to be some really good play with top ranked players, which resulted in two very close games which could have gone either way. Debbie, Rebecca and Helen finished previous winners Fiona, Kim and Jenny 21-19 and Hannah, Tracy and Hilary saw off Linda, Sue and Philippa 21-18.

The Final saw great bowling from all players in a really close game. The Marown Trio dug in hard to come out eventual winners to claim the title 21-17.

The Association presented prizes and thanked Peel Sunset for hosting and all their member for helping out on the day.
