A little note from Jane:

Ladies (and Gentlemen who enjoy cooking!)
I am asking a favour! So if you are still reading, here it is :
We are having a fun afternoon on the 20th August with a couple of twists, so I am asking if you have a favourite cake, or small cakes that you enjoy making and even perhaps think of as your ‘signature cake’ that you could possible make one for me for that afternoon?
All your ingredients will be paid for and it would be lovely if perhaps some of our new or newer members could join in with this, maybe introducing us to something different. Just to give a little encouragement, Roger will be making some soft flapjacks!! His cook book is somewhat limited but scrambled egg and his flapjacks are legendary.
If you feel that you would be happy to help, please contact by email or text 07979824936 and I will get back to you very quickly.
Many thanks.
Jane

Salisbury and District League

Great start to our S and D campaign winning both our games.

Hard first game on a tricky green away at Alderbury winning 12-0 on points 37-30 on shots.

We then followed that up by a great win against a very strong Pewsey Reds side last night winning 12-2 on points 79-68 on shots.

Great effort from all that played. You all made your captain proud with how well you all played and brought a great positive attitude on to the green which shows in these great results.

Well done again

Thanks all

James

Mens Wilts 4RL

Our second match of the season was an away game against Westlecot, last years league winners.

This was a tight encounter last season in which we fell slightly short and unfortunately this game turned out to have a similar outcome.

On Rink 1 Bob Armstrong’s make shift rink had a super tussle throughout and showed great spirit to claw the game back from a 6-13 deficit to only trail 13-15 with 2 ends to play. Disaster then struck as they conceded a 4 and 6 to fall to a 13-25 defeat.

On Rink 2 Nick Revell’s foursome held on to a comfortable lead from the 4th end and ran out winners 22-10. It’s important to add that this result doesn’t quite reflect the game as the Westlecot rink seemed to play good bowls and get unlucky results on multiple occasions.

On Rink 3 Chris Weekes rink started well to lead 5-0 after 3 ends. Unfortunately it was downhill from there as constant pressure told and the Salisbury four found them selves 6-20 down. A final blow came on the last end where dropping a 7 meant we fell to a 10-29 defeat.

Finally over on Rink 4 Tom Warner’s rink had a battle which ebbed and flowed with 9 ends shared a piece. Great bounce back ability was shown after having dropped a 4 on the penultimate end to level 16-16, we picked up a 4 to close out a 20-16 victory.

Full scores:

Rink 1: B.Pike, J.White, G Annetts & B Armstrong lost to B Whittingham 13-25

Rink 2: T.Fiddy, N Gillespie, J.Moody & N Revell beat N.Smith 22-10

Rink 3: P.Mortimer, R.Blackwell, G House & C.Weekes lost to M.Richards 10-29

Rink 4: A.Plumb, E.McConnell, F.Boynton & T.Warner beat M.Titcombe 20-16

Final Score: Westlecot 80 (10) Salisbury 65 (4)
