On R1 Jamie Reid Vs John Urquhart
and it was Jamie who ran out the winner in this battle of Ex Northern Champs winning this on an electifyingly quick rink.
On R3 recent past Champ young Gordon Wilson played the Old reliable Warhorse Ian Miller,and Ill leave you to form your own opinions of when I asked for his comment on tonights game as he simply said “Gordon caught the rink better than me”, says it all really,
On R4 last years Champion Garry Harrison and Jim Prentice fought out this match, but it was lights out for the Champ as Jim put Garry to the sword with some great consistent bowls, with no complaints from Garry,” wishing Jim all the best in the semi.”
On R5 the President Jim Bathgate playing the ever reliable Gordon snr and this was the only game that nearly went all the way, longest game on tonight at 19-17 for Jimmy and he won the next 2 very tense ends getting a 1 at each to win through to the Semi final of the Championship we think for the 1st time after having been a member in the club for we think almost 40 yrs, is this true Jim ?, and Jimmys quote from tonight was the “dream is still on,” he is still in the main Championship and the senior Championship and he fancies both this year, good luck Mr Pres,
So the best of luck to our 4 semi finalists next Monday 15th of August at 1830pm.
Gordon Wilson jnr Vs Jim Prentice.
Jim Bathgate Vs Jamie Reid.
