Bowdon Firs and Chester in Hard Fought Draw

At the end of a very busy Sunday Bowdon Firs and Chester fought out an exciting three all draw with the result in doubt until the last moment approximately 15 minutes after the programmed finish time.

The mornings doubles finished one apiece with John Wilkinson and Joan Spilsbury winning +5 and Lorna Frost and Frank Moir losing –5. After a very good lunch, battle recommenced with singles. Both Lorna +9 and Frank +6 won their matches while Joan at –13 and John –1 on time lost, resulting in a draw. John’s match was particularly exciting and held the crowd in suspense, John hitting in after time to draw the match but after a series of skirmishes failed to run the golden hoop and left an opportunity to his opponent which he took.
