County Competitions 2023-4

High Drama in County Final

The Cornwall Indoor  County Pairs final held at Lux Park last weekend produced a nail biting finish between the Newquay pair of David Parr and Gary Frost competing agaainst the Carnmoggas pairing of David Drew and Andrew Broad. The score had been level at 10 shots each after the first fifteen ends when the Carnmoggas duo picked up a four and a one to go into the last end holding a seemingly match-winning five shot advantage. However as a noted commentator in another sport has said – “It’s a funny old game”, and it proved to be the case here. The game seemed a further impossibility for the Newquay men  after David Drew had secured a back toucher with a supporting back bowl behind that and a further shot to hold a count of three. David Parr elected to fire with his last bowl and  accurately jambed the jack onto the two back bowls causing them to disappear from the count and the ongoing impetus of the bowl took the jack into the ditch for a count of two. Gary  Frost then bowled an incredible length and line to draw three bowls to the edge of the ditch for a count of 5. With the varying emotions of elation and disappointment of each team it was inevitable that the Newquay men would gain the match winning shot on the extra end to secure victory.

In the County Singles Championship, played alongside the Pairs, it was Ian Drew who  took the family crown after defeating son  Ryan  in another high quality game. Ian has now won seven consecutive County Singles titles,  and fourteen in total.

The Rinks final needed agreement from both teams to reduce the number of ends played due to the early closing policy of Lux Park and the Newquay four of Darren Mudge, Adam Brooks, David Roe and Tim Phillips gained the title over the Carnmoggas rink of Ryan Drew, David Grose, David Drew, and Ian Drew.

 

Further matches were played on Sunday and Darren Mudge continued his exemplary display of lead bowling with compatriots Gary Frost and Tim Phillips to ensure the Triples Trophy went Newquay’s way against the Veryan trio of Ken Tinkler, Kevin Butler, and Colin Binny by the narrow margin of 13-12 after two dead ends.

The mixed pairs title went to Bodmin’s Karen and Merv Emment over Caradon’s Chris and Bob Bishop, whilst Gary Frost completed a hat-trick of titles by winning the Mixed Triples with Lesley Clayton and David Parr over Bodmin’s Karen Emment, Stephen  Ford and Merv Emment.
