SABA ENTERPRISE LEAGUE
A good result today for the Falcons at the start of a very busy week of bowls.
Every day this week for some, with the re-arranged games from the recent bout of rainy weather, so it is nice to start off with a win.

Our scoring rinks were as follows :
Jenni Blunt, Gerry Gough and Mick Blunt.  18 - 10.
Rose Guppy, Arthur Brown and Brian Guppy.  21 - 11.
Val Collier, Ann Hartley and Chris Collier.  22 - 6.
Kath Reid, Barbara Brown and Guiseppe Galelli.  22 - 15.
Very well done to this team that were 6 - 0 down after four ends then scored a Hot Shot (9) on the fifth to kick start their win.
Horadada Falcons 10 pts (108 shots) v San Miguel Comets  4 pts (82 shots).

The second successive game of a very busy week, thank goodness the weather held out sufficient to complete the game, although it was looking bleak at one point. The last thing we needed was another cancelled match. Not a good day for Bowls or the Falcons as we went down on four rinks so not too much to say. 

Our winning rinks were:
Pauline Murphy, Gerald Murphy and Barry Evans.  27 - 15.
Kath Reid, Brian Guppy and Guiseppe Galelli.  26 - 9.
Horadada Falcons  4 pts (89 shots) v Quesada Pearls  10 pts  (118 shots).

SABA DISCOVERY LEAGUE
Unfortunately the start or the week was not so good for our Condors at home to La Marina Astonauts we did manage to win one rink so well done to.
Vince Skeel, Ann Allen Skip Dave Allen 17 – 14.
But the overall score was a bit of a disaster.
Horadada Condors 2 pts La Marina Astronauts 12 pts (shots 68 – 133)

SOUTHERN LEAGUE DIVISION ' A '
Report of the Royals re-arranged game from the 19th February played today 4th March.
 
Another game against Quesada at home, and it was the turn of their Swallows team. This time we managed to turn the tables winning on four rinks and taking the overall shots. A different league of course, but quite a few of the players had to make the journey for the second time within three days. At least the sun was out this time, a much better day for bowls.

Our winning rinks were :-
Tony Burchall, Jenny Burchall and Brian Guppy.  21 - 14.
Val Collier, Jim Kerr and Chris Collier.  24 - 9.
Bryan Eatough, Arthur Brown and Julian Pering.  22 - 11.
Terry Hucknall, Jo Pering and Barry Evans.  19 - 12.
Horadada Royals  10 pts ( 110 shots ) v Quesada Swallows  4 pts (88 shots).

Business as usual away from home to Emerald Isle Sapphires if only we could do this at home more often nether less a win is a win and a good one as well at the Isle with four winning rinks as follows. Well done Squad.
John Bailey, Arthur Brown Skip Barry Evans 20 – 15
Bryan Eatough. Jo Perring Skip Julian Pering 18 – 13
Jenni Blunt, Terry Hucknall Skip Mick Blunt 21 – 10
Val Collier, Jim Kerr Skip Chris Collier 27 – 11
Total Shots 106 – 84 Total points 10 - 4

HOT SHOTS - A Hot shot trio. Kath Reid, Giuseppe Galelli and Barbara Brown. Their maximum scored for Horadada against San Miguel. Also both Kath Reid & Barbara Brown have been selected to
play for England
