SOUTHERN LEAGUE A Quesada Swallows away to San Luis Lions. Beautiful warm sunshine, blue skies, What more can we possibly want - of course to win the game of bowls we were about to play at San Luis. Although everyone enjoyed their game, we were hardly victorious. The Swallows only won on 1 rink, the Lions won on 5 rinks. Shots for QBC 76 and 139 shots for San Luis. Game points 2 for and 12 against.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE B Quesada Swifts played La Siesta Gold. Although 3 of Quesada’s players did not turn up for play, the remaining Swifts fought valiantly, but had to admit defeat in the end. Final result 2 pts to QBC and 12 pts to La Siesta.

WINTER LEAGUE Quesada at home to Javea Green. A very close home match against league leaders Javea Green. 3 games could not have been closer with QBC shading 2 of them & Javea just holding on to the first. In a most amazing match the team of D. Donovan, G. Carnell, D. Leeming, D. Sale went into a 18-0 lead against N. Cole & his team.

They closed the gap to 18-16 and in a nail biting finish, the home side held their nerve to run out 20-18 victors. J. Northend, J. Parkes, M. Lamberton, P. Parkes picked up 8 shots over the last 3 ends to match victory 21-20. J. Muldoon, N. Lamberton, R. Ford, J. Riley fought hard to keep in front, but just lost out on the last end 14-15. On the 4th game the visitors were always in control & won 24-10. Match pts Quesada 6 and 4 points to Javea. An encouraging team performance against very strong opponents.

The BERLEEN match was even closer with a 7 pt. victory for the Quesada team and equal shots for the Javea team, therefore sharing game pts.

Games were played in splendid spirits and rounded off with an excellent meal in 'The Club'.

SABA LEAGUE A - The Pearls hosted the San Luis Klingons. Not a particularly good result, but well done to everyone. QBC won on 2 rinks and lost the other 4 rinks. 88 shot for and 105 against; 4 pts to the Pearls and 10pts to the Klingons.

SABA LEAGUE B - The Diamonds played at home against Greenland Yellow and also won on 2 rinks and lost on 4 rinks. 94 shots for and 121 shots against; 4 pts for and 10 pts. against. All we can for both games is that the weather was beautiful and we all enjoyed a friendly game with our opponents and a satisfying drink after the game.

A rearranged game saw Quesada Pearls playing Horadada Falcons at Horadada; and yet again it had to be played on a most disagreeable day. the weather was cold, rainy, and thoroughly miserable, all that can be said that some of us adapted to the conditions better than others. D. Sale, D. Leeming, V. Sale 31-11; J. Muldoon, C. Chapman, J. Parkes 15-27; J. Northend, P. Parkes, N. Lamberton 19-6; J. Brinton, J. Dunning, A. Flitman 20-15; N. Birch, N. Baigent, R. Pinfold 24-4; D. Washbourn, M. Lamberton, T. Brinton 9-26; The end result favoured Quesada and was 118 shots for and 89 against; 10pts for 4 pts against.

Another rearranged match was between Quesada Swifts and Mazarron. The Mazarron Green had to be cleared of excess water and therefore held up play for 1 hour. Congrats to S. Gray, M. Lockley and J. Monks 19-15 and M. Humphries, K. Kirton,A. Thomas 20-13, winning teams for Quesada and hard luck to the other rinks who tried very hard.
