WINSCOMBE played Clarence Blues at Clarence Park in the semi-final of the Weston Over-60s Knockout Cup.

Winscombe were going for a hat-trick of wins in this competition as they had been the holders for the last two years. They came up against a strong Clarence team, but fought back from a 30 shot deficit to finish just nine shots short.

At Victoria in the Over-60s League, Winscombe were again behind on all rinks but came back to lose on the five rinks played by just 10 shots. This is the first time Winscombe have lost on the green to Victoria in seven matches played this year. However, Victoria were unable to field the required six rinks, so lost 10 shots and two points. Winscombe therefore drew the match on shots, but secured 12 points to Victoria’s eight and Victoria have still not beaten Winscombe this year.

Both Somerset County League teams lost. The A team visited Wedmore and were always behind. The high-flying B team lost their first game on the green this year to a strong Ashcombe side. Winscombe B won on just one rink and secured two points.

In the Clevedon and District Evening League, it was a must win match against West Backwell to overtake them in the league. It was a close game, but Winscombe won by two shots and secured another seven points.

The bi-annual match against the Madeira Bowling Club at Exmouth followed the recent pattern, where the home team usually wins the Marjorie Stewart Ink Stand Trophy.

This unusual trophy was donated by a Winscombe member in memory of her husband to be played over 21 ends triples. The match has been played since 1950 and as a result of this win by Madeira, the games are tied at 31-all over the 62 years.

The mixed friendly against Burnham was a close match with no less than three rinks drawn, one lost by one shot and one rink won by two shots. Overall Winscombe won by seven shots.

Victoria B won two rinks skipped by Mike Taylor and Derek Hurst against Mark Moor, but a heavy defeat on the other rink allowed the visitors to secure the match win.

Victoria D travelled across town to play Clarence B and as forecast heavy showers made an appearance, causing several delays before a thunderstorm flooded the green forcing an abandonment with 15 ends played and a win on all three rinks for Clarence. The rink of Richard Jacobs, Rod Sleep, David Roberts and John Griffiths were involved in a game of fluctuating fortunes and at the time of abandonment were unfortunately just one shot in arrears.
