Report from the Under 25’s 2x4’s.

 In the Bowls England U25’s prelim national two fours competition, which started the season, Middlesex had a double rink win over their counterparts from Buckinghamshire CBA U25’s.

The winning margin was by 8 shots, 40 to 32.

The rink skipped by Jamie Gibbs won 22 shots to 18 the rink skipped by Lee Barber won 18 shots to 14.

Both of our rinks got off to a very good start, with an overall difference of 9 shots up after 5 ends 20 shots up after 10 ends and 26 shots up after 15 ends.

Maybe due to a bit of complacency or lack of concentration by the Middlesex rinks, plus a spirited fight back from the Buckinghamshire team, who won the last 5 ends on both rinks, the 26 shot lead was nibbled away to only 8 shots by the end of the match.

Middlesex play Sussex in the 1^st round of Bowls England U25’s national two fours competition at the Bounds Green BC on the 25^th May commencing at 10.00am, your support would be welcomed and appreciated as it should be a very good game against the current HCL U25 champions.
