Tuesday 12th September
This match could be interpreted either way. Mid Surrey won by two rinks to one, whereas, Teddington won by 17 shots overall ( 65 to 48 ) This margin was due to the magnificent performance of Dennis, Eileen and Vernon who won on their rink by scoring 40 shots to their opponent's 4.
Well done and thank you to everyone for taking part.

R&B match away to Ashford 26/8.
Sadly our R&B campaign ended on a losing note, we lost on all three rinks, but I don't think there is any great shame involved as they are at the top of the league and have been for quite sometime. We all need more practice.!!
Thanks to all club members who participated in the R&B in the past year.
WE TRIED !!
Kind regards, Colin (R/B Sec)
---------------------
R&B League match against NPL Sunday 20th August at the Grove.
We had to play one rink with just 3 players as Colin had hurt his back and we were unable to find a reserve. That rink had to loose 25% of the score.
Even so it was a keenly contested match with NPL winning on 2 rinks and Teddington winning 1.
Therefore under the R & B rules it was 3 points to NPL and 1 to us.

We lost this match by two rinks to one, and by 2 shots overall. The final score was 49 shots to 47 in their favour. Unfortunately, on the final end we conceded 2 shots on one rink and 1 shot on another to illustrate how close this match was and how friendly we are. ( This has got to stop! ).

----------------------------
R & B match 29/7/17 @ Isleworth's venue.
We only fielded 8 players (2 rinks) as Isleworth could only find 8 players that were willing to play, that meant we had 2 points before we started.
We then proceeded to lose on both rinks in the most disgusting weather I have ever bowled in, thankfully their Captain Terry and I agreed to cut the match down from 21 ends to 12 to save all players getting drowned.
Thanks again to all and I hope you have all dried out by now !! Colin
-----------------------
Teddington v Cambridge Park ( away )
Thursday 28/ 07 /2017.
This match ended with Cambridge Park winning on two rinks to one. However, we won by five shots overall, thanks to the team of Dennis, Gerrard and Ted winning by a score of 20 shots to 12. Sure, if this match was played under R&B rules, then their captain, Gerry Swan, would be correct to claim a victory according to ' local ' rules. But I say we gave them a good run for their money, so well done everyone. Ted.
-----------------------------
Teddington v Ember Bowls ( away )
Sunday 23/07/2017
With a forecast of 90% chance of rain we were lucky to enjoy a window of dry and pleasantly mild weather. This was the first time in ages that we have played at Ember Bowls so to play on their rink presented an unknown challenge. As with most clubs they proved to be a very friendly bunch.
Roger B and Vernon, skipped by David won comfortably on their rink, which compensated for the narrow losses on the other two rinks, so much so, that the match overall ended in a draw.
The final score was 51 shots each.
Well done everyone, Ted

Report on National Senior Singles between David Baker and David Pitt of Masonians played in the morning of 24th June.
"It was a very close game with the lead changing several times. As it neared the end David Pitt upped his game which a top class player is able to do to win the match. The final score was 21 shots to 15. For me it was a great experience you do not get the chance to play against players of that class very often.'

Report on National Senior Singles played at Isleworth Bowls Club on 26th May Between Mick Thorn and David Baker.
Played in the hot sunshine The match was very close with the lead changing hands several times. coming to what was the last end. I was up 20 shots to 19 shots, we had both played 3 woods and I was holding 1 shot. Mick played his last wood and knocked in his closest wood and the other wood rolled in so he was holding 2 shots. I played my last wood and managed to pick up the jack and got the shot. This meant that I won by 2 shots. The next round I am at home against either L. Gatfield C/Park or Peter Attridge Isleworth.

Teddington. v. Esher. / Sunday 7th May 2017.
This match was played in ideal weather conditions. It was a warm Spring day, - not too hot and more importantly ,dry. The rinks were not at all heavy, surprisingly so, considering this was the start of the outdoor season. We enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon against friendly opponents.
We won the match by 8 shots over 3 rinks, - winning on 2 and drawing on the third. Thank you to everyone who took part. It was a good start to our program of friendlies, now all we have to do is keep it going. Ted mitchell (match capt)

Mayor's match, played on Sunday 30th April, went very well. The weather stayed fine, the games were played in a competitive but friendly way and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. A big thank you to Maureen and Vernon for the excellent post match refreshments.
The Mayor and his wife were suitably impressed with the occasion, especially with the Bowls,given their self confessed ignorance of the game. The Mayor spoke to several people as he circulated after the meal, creating a good impression.
Unfortunately,Teddington, as the Mayor's representatives, were runners up. We lost overall by 75 shots to 54 and by 3 rinks to 1.
As the team with the biggest margin of victory, Hampton should be congratulated for winning this year's Mayor's Cup Ted Mitchell
---------------------------------
TEDDINGTON v CAMBRIDGE PARK ( Sun 15th January 2017)
Thank you to everyone who turned out for this match. It was played in an extremely friendly way, against opponents who we have got to know very well - perhaps, some might say, too friendly as we were runners up yet again. However, it was a close run thing right to the end - just before the tea break the master score board showed 36 - 36 and the scores were level at least twice nearing the end of the match. The final score was 91 - 60 in favour of Cambridge Park. The margin of our loss is decreasing each time we play this indoor fixture, so we can take some positives from the game.( Perhaps we shouldn't eat the cake at the tea break).
Our next match is Sunday February 19th, so please put your name down for this if you have not yet done so. Let's close the gap on them even further.
