Prattens Ladies played against Bloomfield Ladies on Thursday but lost on both rinks. 

As I said last week, last season Prattens Men’s team were promoted in the Somerset County League so the games are going to be tougher this year, especially as we have a less experienced team than we did last year. 

This Saturday we played against another promoted team; Purnell B and, as pointed out by the Purnells captain (Colin Toogood), last season Prattens took all twelve points, Purnells exacted full revenge on this occasion with substantial wins on all three rinks. Hopefully some of our new players will prove to be good replacements for the players that we lost as they gain a little more experience. 

On Sunday morning, Prattens played an away game in the Top Club competition. This was against Portishead and we had reached this stage by beating the other Portishead team a couple of weeks ago. On this occasion, Prattens lost in all five disciplines so have exited that competition.

We still have room for several more new members, experienced or new to bowls, so if anyone else wishes to join the club (or discuss joining the club), please contact Barrie or Pauline Dando on: 01761-412705 or come along to the club evening on Monday evenings from 6pm where you can take part in the wonderful game of bowls.
