Report by Marguerite Alexander.
With the continuing heavy rain and with bowlers welfare in mind both greens are now closed for the day (Wednesday 17th May). This means that both the Four Rink League match against Trowbridge Westbourne and the Norwest League Match against North Wilts Red Devils have been postponed. Hopefully, weather permitting, the Top Green will be open tomorrow.
Devizes “Alpha” playing at Trowbridge Town on Thursday 11th May gained an impressive 54 to 20 shots win and all six points.
Denise Howard, Rose Merritt and Sheila Garlick had a brilliant 35 to 7 shots win. Julie Romjn, Wendy Gaisford and Marguerite Alexander, after scoring a 4 on the 17th end, managed a hard fought 19-13 win.
Well done ladies, especially Denise and Julie playing in their first division one game. A very happy team travelled home.
