Despite winning on 3 of the 4 rinks Berkhamsted Men lost a close fought game to their neighbours Kitcheners, Berkhamsted’s top rink consisted of Eric Browitt, Maurice Primo, John Webb and Terry Kenyon.
Berkhamsted’s mixed team restored winning ways by over coming Harpenden in their Triples match on Sunday, Terry Kenyon was the top rinks skip again this day ably supported by Eric Lloyd and Tom Presland.
For their first game of the 2017 season Berkhamsted Bowls Club had their usual local derby against Potten End Bowls Club. A good start to the season was achieved by Berkhamsted winning on all 6 Rinks with an overall score of 141 – 74. This was greatly helped by a top rink for Berkhamsted of Gary Fisher, Pam Fensome, Geoff Drew and Ken Maynard. Hopefully this example set by the teams continues throughout the season.
Berkhamsted also held their open days on the 29th & 30th April resulting in a good response in recruiting new members, including some Juniors showing interest.
Two of our members, Terry Kenyon and Alan Jones, helped St Albans & District Bowling Association to a 97 – 60 win over Hatfield IBC at Hatfield IBC on Sunday 29th January. Terry was Skip and Alan, number 2, on Rink 1 which was victorious 25 – 18. The other rink scores were – Rink 2: 17 – 18; Rink 3: 24 – 15; and Rink 4 (Top Rink): 31 – 9.
By all accounts a very enjoyable day and naturally a good win for St Albans!
Do your best to attend and have your say on what and how things should be done to ensure that both the club and individual members have an enjoyable and successful season.
