Three matches on Saturday the Women travelled to take on Palmerston in the Riversmeet the Men’s squad played Victory in the Bramley and our Under 30’s took on Egham in the National under 30 Double rink.
Chawton Park had a tough Riversmeet Fixture against last years winners Palmerston (Yellow) losing all three rinks and overall by 59-38.
The Men’s Bramley team were behind most of the way against Victory and struggling to gain a foothold but a spurt in the closing stages fuelled by Chawton’s top rink of Charlie Spear, Tony Gniotek, Gary M Johnson and Simon Greenwood 24-8 winners but were not quite able to reign in Victory who came out on top by 60-57. Chawton Park gained Three points and Victory Seven.
Performance of the day undoubtedly came in the National Under 30’s double rink against last years semi finalists and previous years champions Egham. Chawton Park’s home rink featured a very young side in Lily Flannigan (12) Lewis Ferneyhough (17) and the old experienced head Reece Graham (21) although they ultimately lost their rink by 24-14 the pivotable moment in the whole tie was the final end where the Chawton Park trio were able to score a Five to significantly eat into Egham’s then lead so with the score at 36-37 and with two ends left at Egham the away trio of Mollie Brand, Danny Brown and Ashley Nethercliffe capped an excellent performance to take a shot on both remaining ends to win 24-13 and win the tie overall by 38-37. In the next round (last 16) Chawton Park will take on Bristol Indoor Bowls Club with the tie to be played on Saturday 12th December.
