Resigned from the management committee this year to take on selection committee duties (out of the frying pan eh!).
Had a trial match on Sunday in preparation for the first league match against Maitland tomorrow. Teams go up on Sunday afternoon and by Monday night there's two call offs

Cannae say I'm looking forward to standing freezing my knackers off tomorrow night but that's the 'joy's'? of the bowling season for you.

I kinda like the thought o selection duties ..be like a manager for a bit .....nah as rewarding as it prob can be i can see yer nightmares wi call offs etc Mike ...

Were pretty rooked already, ko cup on Thurs v Buccleuch away ..11 players available...

Lost 8-0 away to EL-COOP on Friday ...struggling already ...

The name certainly rings a bell Kenny but no face.
Which club does he play for?

Not quite sure Mike, Pilrig rings a bell, he was at a funeral in the Viccy park hotel & i was going to a wedding so things got a bit mixed up due to the alcohol both of us had been consuming .....he did say he done the "circuits" ...the comps throughout the Lothians where there is dosh to be earned ...

Ah ..i remember now ..he plays for Tranent..not EL-CO but the other one ..

Hi all; bowling season now in full swing.

Not been playing in the league so far; still doing selecting duties...won our 1st 2 games!

Apologies; but I won't manage the game again Northern again this year; it coincides with the Colville out here.

Playing my 1st tie of the season on Tuesday, in the 1st round of the championship...against the boy who beat me in the final last year!!!!

4 1/2 points each for Northern First XVI v Maitland last night.

FAO Green Giant, Maitland green played ok. Slightly heavy, which is understandable this early in the season, and a bit bumpy, which again is probably understandable, but I must say I have played on a lot worse greens than that at the height of the season.

Good club Maitland, nice surroundings, green ok and nice clubhouse.

Not as good as the Northern of course

Jewel is flying at this moment in time ...maybe due to the fact they have been giving it the heavy roller treatment for the first time in about 20 years ...

Well done on yer result Mike ..

Through to the second round of the Scottish pairs after a tight game today ...tit for tat throughout 16 ends & on the last we needed a single to take it to an extra end but we took the single & a measure for two shots ...onwards & upwards ..

Im really enjoying my bowls at the moment ..my mentor & late Father in law must be looking down on me ...

Good luck mate, I've heard the boy you are playing is crap

[tanfield]

Tanfield won 8 - 1 tonight against Leith. I was pulled in to skip at last minute and managed a peel after John Ramsey got a big break with the last bowl to get a pair

Still great result and keeps us up there.

Not a good night for Leith then Andrew as the Northern 2nd XVI won 9-0 AT Leith.

Northern first XVI won 7-2 at home to Willowbrae.

Yours truly was getting hammered 14-4, got it back to lead 15-14 at the last end, was lying the shot with the last bowl of the game to go. I played a blocker? about a yard short of the white right in the draw. The skip, Ian Paterson, played a running bowl which skipped past my 'blocker' and pulled the white back to win 17-15. There was hardly a bowl all night drew to the Jack on this hand and normally any bowl with weight lifts and runs by the head.
However, hands up to Ian, he tried it and played and it was a great bowl to win the game

Glad yous tucked them away, were still 2nd bottom of the league but we have played the 2 best teams in the Edinburgh league and come away with 7 1/2 points, not bad at all.

Enjoyed the game we had a couple of weeks back, I was pretty lucky but thought we had sneaked it in the end!

Just seen you have organised the hibs.net match for the 5th of June, I believe I have tickets for the Musselburgh races that day!
