BOWLS: The long awaited bowls season is finally under way. Tiptree Jobserve Bowls Club members polished up their bowls, for a friendly match against Royal Mail, at the Woods Bowls Club, Colchester, on Saturday.
The format of the afternoon was six triples matches of 18 ends each. Tiptree flew into an early lead, winning the first end, on five of the six rinks, and by the sixth end, Tiptree had taken a massive 29 point lead.
However, Royal Mail soon began to improve their deliveries, and over the next 12 ends managed to reduce the deficit to just three shots.
The match finished with each club winning on three rinks, but with Tiptree having a three shot advantage overall, with a shot score of 106 to 103.
Tiptree Jobserve Bowls Club would like to thank Royal Mail Bowls Club for their hospitality.
