Nothing Like A Quiet Night Of Bowls

... And that was nothing like a quiet night of bowls!

It was cup week and we were playing Blaengarw.

We got off to a bad start and was 10-5 down after eight ends. Their third and skip had been bickering all the way through the game. It boiled over on the 9th end when they almost had to be separated after their skip played a bad shot. The first rule in any sport is when your opponent is down you kick them, four more ends of carnage ensued, we went from 10-5 down to 17-10 up. We were home and dry ... Or so we thought. With game almost over., their skip pull off a shot that saved the match. With one end to play they needed three shots to force a sudden death one end play off, four for a win. My dad had two bowls left, the opposition one. They were holding four. Dad came in with weight and cut it down to one. Their skip tried to take dads wood out ... And missed. We won by a single shot!!

I've got to find a less stressful sport!
