KESWICK (FITZ PARK) BOWLING CLUB

West Cumbria Men's Fours League: Last Friday Keswick won 5-2 away against Workington B and managed to stay in 2nd place in the table, just 1.5 points ahead of Workington 'A' though 15.5 points behind leaders Whitehaven 'A'. The fours skipped by Robin Phillips and Craig Phillips won 20-12 and 19-10 respectively but the four skipped by Vic Emmerson lost 21-12.

Eden Valley Fours League: Last Thursday's match between Keswick and Lazonby was a real top of the table clash as the 2 men's teams were level on points in joint 1st place in the table. It turned out to be a great night for Keswick as they won 7-1 to go 6 points clear at the top. The four skipped by Robin Phillips came back from 8-11 after 11 ends to win 18-12 and the four skipped by Maurice Abraham won 20-16. The four skipped by Craig Phillips were never in front but snatched 2 on the final end to secure a draw. The ladies also had a good night as they claimed only their second 6-0 win of the season although they are still much nearer the foot of the table than the top. Sandy Emmerson remains undefeated in this league as her four won 19-12, having been 11-8 down after 11 ends, and Margaret Ambler's four won 20-16.

Eden Valley Over-55's Mixed Triples League: On Tuesday the A team were at home against Appleby and lost 8-2. Gerald Brotherton was the only successful skip, winning 15-13, but the fours skipped by Donald Holme, Alan Dalzell and Alan Rothwell lost 17-12, 17-12 and 21-6 respectively. On the same day the B team played away against Penrith Telecom and won 8-2, the scores being as follows (Keswick skips' names only): Colin Jackson 17-5, John Lowther 16-12, Ray Holliday 12-10 and Derek Massingham 12-15.

County Competitions: Last Wednesday in the men's County Triples Championship the team of Donald Holme, Alan Dalzell and Robin Phillips (substituting for brother Craig) lost in the quarter-finals at Courtfield (Carlisle) to a team from Dalston. In the Roland Starkie Fours Competition the team of John Lowther, Donald Holme, Craig Phillips and Vic Emmerson lost in the semi-finals at Caldbeck to a team from Kirkbride, thus ending the last chance of Keswick being represented on County Finals day on Sunday at Wigton.

Friendly Matches: It was only a few weeks ago that I was writing about fine weather and quick greens, but how the situation has changed over the past week or so! 2 friendly matches were cancelled at the last minute because of bad weather - the planned match at Brampton on 11 July and the planned match at Cockermouth Croft on 25 July. Such a shame for the players involved who do not play in league matches and who would, no doubt, have been looking forward to competing against "new" faces at "new" venues.

The Green: Following on from my remarks above about the weather it must be said that it is a credit to the greenkeeper Alan Dalzell and his team that the green is still playing well, though, of course, much slower, during this week's very wet spell. The club hosted the semi-finals of the men's County Fours on Monday evening and, despite more or less continuous rain during the preceding 36 hours, the green was not only playable but was running well.
