On Saturday morning the Men's Singles Championship was played between Dickie Clarke and John Clapp.
After 11 ends there was only one shot dividing them in Dickies favour. He pressed on to take the victory in a close game.
Well played both of you. Congratulations Dickie.
In the afternoon we travelled over the moor to Porlock for our bi-annual fixture with the nice people from Porlock and District Bowling Club. With the sun on our backs, a fast running green and good company I'm sure we all had an enjoyable afternoon. At the tea break we were ahead on three of the five triples, but by the end we had lost on three but won well on two and therefore overall having the better shot count but it was decided to call the match a draw.

Report for weekending 13th September 2019.
On Saturday morning 2 Club finals were played, the Men's 2 wood and the open Singles. Dennis Blackwell played Barry Kerslake in the Men's 2 wood and as you would expect the scores ticked along nicely and pretty even. Going into the 20th end Barry held a two shot lead. We've been here before with the ladies, If Dennis could score 2 they would be level for the last end. Sure enough he was holding 2, but Barry had the last wood and he drew the perfect bowl to take the shot and the match. Well played both of you and congratulations Barry.
In the second final the Open Singles Chris Slade played Dickie Clarke and lead until the 12th end which Dickie won he then changed the mat length and the course of the game. Chris could not settle with the longer jack length and Dickie pulled ahead and on to victory. Well played both of you. Congratulations Dickie.
For our first friendly of the week The Borough made the long trip over the river to Westexe. Although this game is called a local derby it has always been played in a very friendly atmosphere, Saturday's game was no exception. Four triples enjoyed an afternoons bowling in good company.
West End 80, Tiverton Borough 49. results:--
C Andrews, G Jarrett, C Penney 16 - 17
C Hammett, T Gribble, A Hill 22 - 13
S Butt, E Browning, D Blackwell 17 - 13
M Slade, C Slade, B French 25 - 6..
On Saturday afternoon I was asked if I would mark the Ladies Championship final on Sunday morning and I nearly turned it down, saying it should be marked by a lady. Boy would I be kicking myself if I had turned it down, it was one of the best games I have ever officiated on. Played between Margaret Sampson and Chris Slade, it was a master class of pure bowling skill.
So many time in the first 17 ends Margaret's toucher held only for Chris to draw in the 6inch gap between bowl and jack or move the jack just those few inches to pick up two shots. But Margaret did not give up, after 21 ends there was only two shots in it. The tension was growing. Chris went on to win four of the next six ends and the match. I was exhausted just watching and that's the saddest part, I was the only one watching.
Well played ladies a wonderful game. Congratulations Chris, Ladies Champion.
On Sunday afternoon four rinks travelled up the motorway to Taunton for a friendly at Vivary. The end result was close with each club winning on two rinks, West End however came out winners overall.

Sadly our game at home on Monday against Ilfracombe was rained off.
On Tuesday we made our annual coach trip down to Teignmouth Den. The day was not as hot as was the day The Den visited us but the warmth of the welcome we always receive made up for the cooler temperature. The match was played in a truly friendly spirit, with the visitors we brought along also laughing and heckling from the end of the rinks. As at our place The Den won on three rinks and we won on two, but unlike at home where we won overall this time we lost by one shot.

Wednesday saw us cross the river for our return match with Tiverton Park. After our narrow victory of 9 shots last week (81 to 72) I suspected Park would bring out the big guns for this game, after all there was more than pride at stake.
This home and away match is played for the Dave Johnson Shield.
Tiverton's Tony Clarke and his team played well and managed to win against Bob Pulsford's West End team. Captain Bob French drew against Tiverton Captain George Reed. Dennis Blackwell and Ken Berry won against Mike Turner and Garfield Barnett.
West End 64, Tiverton (Park) 62. Results:-

Winning both the home and away legs means West End win the Shield this year
Thursday afternoon saw the Mixed pairs Final played between Angie Hill and John Clapp and Maureen Robertson and Bob French. This match drew quite a crowd, with the hot money on Angie and John. That was not the way it was to be though. After a few nice draws by Maureen and a few lucky wicks by Bob they were in front. Some of the delivery's drew gasps of admiration from the crowd, some cries of exasperation, "why did he play that hand", "can't he see the jack". Everyone was on the edge of their seats, even the kids in the play area were screaming. And as hard as Angie and John tried they could not quite catch-up.
After 21 ends of great bowling Maureen and Bob were the winners. Well played all of you and congratulations the Maureen and Bob, Mixed Pairs Champions.
Friday saw the much anticipated Handicap Final between Dickie Clarke and Graham Reardon. With Graham scratch and Dickie plus 7 on paper this looked like a close game even though the bookies had Dickie as favourite.
By 9 ends it looked as though the form book was out of the window as Graham stormed into a good lead, but as is the way with these things once Dickie got the jack he changed the length and never looked back, winning 11 of the next thirteen ends and the match. Well played both of you. Congratulations Dickie.
Report for weekending 6th September 2019.
Yes September, can you believe it, where has the season gone?
One things for sure is with the end of the season comes the club finals and the second final to have been played was the Ladies 2 wood between Chris Slade and Gill Callaghan. Chris took an early lead and by the 12th end she was 13 -3 up but Gill fought her way back and by the 20th end there was only one shot in it. If Chris scored one she would win, if Gill scored one they would need an extra end. Could Gill score two on the last end?, no, Chris took one shot and the title. Well played the both of you. Congratulations Chris.
On Saturday we travelled down to Topsham for our first friendly of the week where we were made very welcome. The weather was kind to us and the green was a pleasure to play on.

Our teams for the day were J Tinhan, B French, M Robertson, G Callaghan and K Berry, J Cole, B Pulsford, P Burton.
With President Ken Berry taking charge of proceedings on the green and Michael Willavoys working his magic on the results table you would have thought West End would have won, but no that honour went to Tiverton (Park) well played all of you.
Congratulations to all Tiverton players because at the end of the day friendship and BOWLS won overall.
Well maybe not, for after I had written this I learnt that a member from Borough was not happy with the result so it was checked and guess what West End came joint first and now Borough who were second were now last. oops.
On Monday we played a rearranged game against Tiverton (Park), this should have been our first friendly of the season but it was cancelled due to rain. Although it was chilly and cloudy the rain held off for us at the second attempt.

On Thursday we made our bi-annual pilgrimage up to Bridgwater, (the former club of Capt. Bob) with a number of members leaving early to enjoy the local hostelries for a meal before the game. The warmth of the welcome we were given made up for the chilly wind that blew all afternoon. In a competitive but friendly game we won on two rinks, lost on three and overall. I heard a rumour that from holding one shot one of our skips delivered a wood which took out his holder and gave away six, he then went down seven. That said he did go on to win so I won't mention his name. West End 92, Bridgwater 104. Results:-

On the 13th end Dickie upped his game, eventually coming out the winner. Well played both of you and congratulations Dickie.
Dodging the rain showers on Friday we played a friendly at home, our visitors were Uffculme. What with over 60's games, County Trophy and Presidents Trophy this was almost a home game for Uffculme they have been to our place so many times this season. Nevertheless we won on four rinks and overall, losing on only one rink. Thanks to Tony and Barry for stepping in late and Edna who played for Uffculme as they were one player short.

Do you know at the end of the game I once again heard one of the opposition say this was the best green they had played on all season. Our thanks for such compliments must go to our green keepers Ken Kelly and John Clapp and their team who turn up come rain or shine to ensure the green is mowed, spiked, watered and generally cared for. Thanks guys.

All too soon along comes Wednesday and the last week of the Exeter and District men's over 60's league. The A and C teams were both at home playing Seaton B and Crediton C respectively, the B team were away at Cullumpton.
All games were reduced to just 12 ends due to heavy rain.
No match is easy and just because you are playing the team at the bottom of the league you must put in the effort and that's just what the A team did winning on both rinks, winning the match and the 2nd division. Congratulations to you all.

Report for weekending 9th August 2019.
Our first friendly the week was at home against Combe Martin.
Now when we went to their place I said how friendly they were and at tea it appeared that we were not being friendly to them as we were up 56 to 38. The mid-match rest must have been good for them though as shortly after tea one rink scored a hot shot against us, and the pendulum started to swung their way. In the end we won three rinks but lost on two and overall.
