Denny Cup disappointment

On Saturday 4 November the Men’s team played Atherley in the second round of the National Denny Cup competition. This match always looked to be a tough match and tough it was. At 5 ends the match looked quite positive with Tom Warner’s rink at Atherley taking an early 12-0 lead and the other rinks skipped by Nick Revell (at Atherley), Jamie Reynolds and Fraser Boynton (at Five Rivers) all quite close.

However, the next 5 ends proved to be crucial with Atherley playing some big bowls and consistent drawing saw them rack up the shots and take a convincing lead at 10 ends. Unfortunately for Five Rivers this onslaught continued and Atherley ran out winners 86-63 winners.

Rink scores as below (Five Rivers skips first):

Jamie Reynolds lost to Martin Wise 15-23
Fraser Boynton lost to Micky Barrett 15-22
Tom Warner lost to Stuart Rowney 17-19
Nick Revell lost to Gary Carter 16-22

Five Rivers 63 – Atherley 86
