Bembridge - Nail-Biting Semi-Final Victory

Two of our teams reached the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, Alan, Trevor, Delphine and Geoff’s team narrowly missed out, losing by just one point. However, Scott, Ian Vanessa and Barry’s team secured a convincing six-point win to move into the semi-final.
The semi-final proved to be a real nail-biter with plenty of twists and turns. Going into the final end we were one shot ahead, but the opposition picked up a point to level the match, forcing an extra end to decide the winner.
After Barry, Vanessa and Ian had played, we found ourselves a couple of woods down, leaving it all to our skip, Scott. His first bowl came agonisingly close, finishing just short of the opposition’s woods. The opposition skip then played but made no change to the head.
With everything riding on his final bowl, Scott delivered a superb shot which wick off another wood to take the shot. The opposition skip had one last chance, and we watched on the edge of our seats as he delivered — but to our delight his bowl fell short.
A fantastic win for Scott’s team and a place in the final!
