A well contested match played in good spirit in lovely weather with an excellent win for Teddington by 3-1.
Once again team 1, Christine, Roger B, Roger J and Eileen, were in great form to triumph by 25-13.
Team 2, Jonathan, John, David B and Bob, were ahead by 7 points at the half way stage and eventually hung on to win 15-14.
Team 3, Bernard, Derek, Gerrard and Colin, were ahead or at least level until the 17th end but then lost all but the last end to finish 21-18 down, despite good play by Gerrard and Colin.
Hence the final result was a win by 2 rinks to 1 and 58 shots to 48.

Away Match V Masonians 26th May . . . Another WIN for us !
We are doing really well so far this season, in all friendlies and the one R&B we have WON them all !! Long may it continue.
Anyway we played in very hot sunshine and we won on 2 rinks and drew on the 3rd against a very friendly team on a lovely 'looked after' and even green. A nice afternoon was had by all.

Teddington v Hampton / Thursday 17th May
We achieved a good result against Hampton,winning on 3 rinks and losing on the fourth with an overall score of 71 shots to 58.
Hampton are one of our more competitive local rivals so it is always good to win against them. However, we play each other several times in the near future so we can not afford to be complacent. We have started our season well - congratulations to everyone, let’s keep it going.

Teddington v NPL. / Thursday 10th May.
This match against one of our local rivals was played, as befitting, in a very friendly way.The weather was fine - very comfortable and dry.
The result was also very good. We won on all three rinks, with a convincing overall score of 68 shots to 37. Rink 2 contrived to give their opponents a lifeline by conceding 6 shots on end 14 , then lost by 4 shots on end 15 . However, prior to this they were leading by 27shots to 9 and it proved to be just a hiccups as they then went on to win all their remaining ends.
Thank you for all your efforts. Ted (Mens Capt)

Away friendly against Esher Bowling Club Sunday 6th May.
After the initial confusion where Esher's opinion was that we were due to play 4 Triples whereas our book said 3, (we played 3 triples). We got going in the brilliant and hot sunshine and a very friendly match was played. We actually WON, One rink won, one rink drawn and one rink lost (mine !!) Total 48 - 41 to us.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the rest of the season (we can but dream !!!)
Thanks to everybody, Colin

Richmond & Barnes match v Cambridge Park. Saturday 5th May
An exciting match in perfect weather played in a friendly spirit.
On rink 1 a 14 point lead gradually decreased until 5 shots on the final end saw CP win by 3.
On rink 2 we were well behind but managed to reduce the deficit to lose by 3.
We triumphed on rink 3 as the lead fluctuated until a final burst on the last 8 ends saw us go from 2 down to 10 up.
Hence, though we lost 2-1 on rinks, 1 point for overall score, 64-60, resulted in a drawn match at 2 all.
Thanks to all who helped to make this an enjoyable occasion, particularly to Maureen for her usual delightful refreshments.

Teddington v Cambridge Park, Saturday 17th March 2018
We lost this match by a mere 6 shots overall. However, as with our previous meeting, we drew the match by winning on two rinks each. This was definitely a match of two halves. At the break for tea we were leading overall by 24 shots. We really must find out what it is they put in the tea and coffee.
Since we have the same supply of beverages I am suggesting (facetiously, of course ), that they have become inured to their water.
Thank you to everyone for playing, despite the problem with the weather and the rugby affected traffic. Now we can look forward to playing outdoors, hopefully in lovely sunshine.

Teddington v Cambridge Park / Sunday 18th February 2018
This match ended in a 2 all draw when measured by rinks won. However, when measured by overall score, we won by 83 shots to 65. So congratulations to everyone who took part. This is our first win against Cambridge Park indoors.
I remember back in January 2016 losing by a huge margin.This set a pattern that was hard to break, but little by little we started to close the gap, although not by any significance. This was helped by more of us regularly playing
Indoors.
So keep up the good work and be prepared for Cambridge Park to field a much stronger team next time. Once again ‘well done’ everyone. Ted Mitchell ( Men’s Captain )
