The week started with a Charity Cup game against Purnells, hosted by Frome Selwood Bowls Club. 

Although one Prattens rink won, with the Purnells Captain claiming that Colin Love had been walking on water, Purnells took the game overall winning on the other four rinks.

The Ladies team did not play this week with the only game scheduled having to be cancelled. This cancellation also applied to the mixed friendly which should have played on Sunday against Trowbridge Town.

On Saturday, the mens team played at home in the last SCL game of the season in what was described as the ‘wooden spoon game’ between ourselves and Alexandra Park. To avoid being bottom of the East 1 division, moving above Alexandra Park, Prattens needed to win the game overall and win on at least two of the three rinks, but the result was the other way around and Prattens lost the game and only won on one rink. Both teams are relegated, along with Bath C, and the two captains said, “see you in East 2 next season”.

There are now only two games left to play this season. Information can be found on the Club website www.prattensbowlsclub.com.
