In the two bowls singles Mark Amos gave us the perfect start, defeating last years County winner 14 11. Alan Offord was not quite so fortunate, losing 15 21 to a player who knew every blade of grass on the rink. Our pair of Terry Regan and Barry Albon were next to finish with a 22 16 win and we needed a win from one of the other two disciplines which came with a 21 8 victory by our triple of Ro Legate, Bob Bell and Ron Williams. Our rink of Dave Beckett, Dean Wood (dragged from his bed because a selected player phoned in sick), Michael Everitt and Kevin Eversden dropped six shots to lose 16 22
