On Tuesday we had two games of the Men’s Major Singles played.

The first game Dave Reilly played Andrew Reynolds with both bowlers starting off in good form and by the 5th end the game was 5-all.

Dave won the next 5 ends to take the lead then Andrew won the next five ends to have the score 11-all.

Dave managed to get a 3 and 2 to regain the lead and keep Andrew down to 1 shot to win the game, Dave 25 Andrew 19.

The second game Mark Fitzalan took on Warwick Parker.

Mark started off very slow and Warwick was leading the game 12 to 5 in the 11th end.

Mark started to put some wins together to have the game 13 all in the 17th end.

Both bowlers were playing excellent bowls with Mark coming out on top 25 to 21.
