Monday 08 – 09 – 19 saw the beginning of the Summer Trips. La Marina were at home to San Luis. W2 L2 D1, the points were 7 for and 5 against. Shots were 100 for and 80 against. An excellent result as La Marina got off to quite a poor start but came good. The two winning rinks were Kathy Manning, Roy Hart and John Morgan, 27 – 12; Maureen and Dave Taylor and Mike Stone, 24 – 12. Reg Jackson, Cliff Rawlinson and Dave Hadaway picked up three on the last end to earn a well deserved draw, 16 – 16.
The rink of Barbara Forshaw, Dave McGaw and Maureen Kidd went into the last end 18 – 18, but lost by one shot. All in all not a bad start for La Marina.

Greenlands Bowls Club by Dave Webb
The start of the new season saw the Gladiators away to the Emerald Isle Vulcans, a good start was made on all rinks but were unable to maintain the momentum resulting in just the one rink won and four lost. Final score, shots 68 – 93. points 2 – 10. winning rink – T Powell, D Toozer, skip J Obrien. 21 – 14.
In the Harrier Division, the Glosters were at home to Country Bowls Badgers. A good start to the season with an excellent win, final score was, shots 94 – 85. points, 9 – 3. Best winning rink were C Stobbart, R Wattley, skip G Stobbart. 23 = 14.
In the winter league we travelled up the AP7 to Bonalba, The wind was making things difficult for all the players but that made the games more interesting. Final scores were, shots 76 – 95. Points, 5 – 7. best winning rink goes to C Rudge, J Hier,L Rudge, skip D Toozer. 16 – 14.
This being the final match of the Winter League leaves us in a better position than were in last season so well done everyone especially to the players who filled the breach at short notice.
No report next week as its the Champion of champions all week, please support our entrants when you can, it does make a difference.

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB by Irene Graham
On Monday the summer season started for the South Alicante Hurricane Division under beautiful, warm blue skies. The Horadada Hawks were at home to La Siesta Wasps. The match was played in good spirits and enjoyed by all. Two of the rinks were hard fought throughout with a nail biting finish for the Hawks. We even had a visit from our regular squirrel who comes to give us his support! We managed to win on three rinks but the overall shots went to La Siesta. Our winning rinks were:
Janet Jukes, Mark Jukes and Barry Evans 17 – 15
Jenny Davis, John Goddard and Wayne Jackson 21 – 19
Tracey Paffett, Ken Barber and Bryan Eatough 27 – 12
Very well played to these players who managed to come through with the win in the end. The final result was a draw with 85 shots for to 94 against giving both teams 6 points.
The next league match is not until 22 April as the Champion of Champions tournament starts today 15 April. We wish all of our entrants the very best of luck in all disciplines for this annual event.
