After seeing his granddaughter get defeated... Beth's Pappy... aka my Dad took up the challenge in Bowls... we have had many a match at bowls throughout the years in this very back garden... so this should be a great contest!!! And that's exactly what it was!!! Joe came out of the blocks strong winning the first end in convincing style... three shots not good for me... and this patterned continued until the fifth end... by that stage it was 9-0 to Joe... getting destroyed here big time... but once again I started to hear "Eye of the Tiger" and the comeback was on... in the sixth and seventh I picked up a shot in each and in the seventh I got a whopping four... still trailing by three I pushed on... in the eighth I miss played my shot and gave Joe two shots... 11-6 but its not over till the fat lady sings... and I came out swinging in the ninth and got two important shots but still trailed by three on 11-8!!! It was all down to the final end... and before i had even bowled my last shot I was sitting three up... and as I bowled my last and scuffed it off my foot sending it into the ditch!!! Pure agony... but I released that I am currently drawing level... but that was only monumentality because Joe bowled his last shot down and landed closer to the Jack than my third closer!!! With that I win two points but lose the overall match 11-10!!! This match was an instant classic... and rather enjoyable too... I think this could be as big of a feud between me and my dad at bowls as it is with me and Tristan at Connect 4!!! Let this great weather continue... and let the bowls flow!!!
