Wellington Bowling Club’s Tigers, Lions and Pumas were all in action this week.
Tigers were the top cats with a fine win at home to Morchard Bishop while the Lions and Pumas both lost their away games.
On their home green, Roger Murphy, Bill Warnett and Tony Gibson’s Tigers had a close game.
The teams were level on ten shots each after ten ends but the Wellington trio came through to win by two shots 16–14.
Derek Vile, Peter White and Ian Hollingsworth were on top form, leading and winning comfortably, 23–10, to give the Tigers an overall victory by 39 shots to 24.
Pete Nichols, Nick Channon and Mike Groves’ Lions were away to a strong Exonia A side.
They chased the home team all the way but Exonia were not going to be caught and won after a good fight, 20–14.
Jay Merrell, Paul Kelly and Julian Street also had a battle on their hands as Exonia scored nine shots in the first four ends before the Lions got going.
They picked up the pace as the game progressed but not enough to catch the hosts who won comfortably, 23–13.
The overall score was a victory to Exonia by 43 shots to 27.
Brian Wombwell, Paul Kelsall and Allan Samuel’s Pumas had a close battle with a strong team from Tiverton WE Green.
With just one end to play, the sides were level on 15 shots apiece but the Pumas took the last end by one shot to pinch it on the line, 16–15.
Arthur Carter, Alan Every and Alan Moore did all they could but lost 24–15 and so Tiverton were overall winners by 39 shots to 31.
