We played a friendly at Home against Croxley Guild on Wednesday 9th September. The weather was better than expected and the sun was out for most of the afternoon. The 4 triples were very close for most of the match and we managed to win by 60 to 55 shots. We had a top triple of Roger Austin, Chris Pound and John Pink by 18 to 8 shots.

Yesterday Monday 7th September we played at Home against Gerrards Cross in a Friendly match and for a change they did not send any of there really top players. We had a very nice afternoon and it was warm and sunny most of the time. Everyone seemed to enjoy the game and we eventually ended up winning by 86 to 54 shots. We won on 4 out of 5 triples and out top triple was Flora Alderton, Martin Cripps and John Anderson bt 21 to 8 shots.

On Thursday 3rd September the ladies took two triples only (we couldn't raise the full three) to Gerrards Cross.

As their ladies were back from Leamington we came second!!

We had our annual Ladies v Gents match yesterday and this was played in good fun. I had hoped we might have got a draw but in the end the Gents won by 74 to 66. We decided to make Pimms for the Ladies who seemed to enjoyed it. The weather was good for us and the green seems to be coming back to its normal colour now. We won 2 triples each and a draw on the 5th one  which was a fair result.

On Tuesday 1st September we played a friendly match at Court Park. Due to rain previously one end of the green was rather damp and we had to keep the mat up from the edges.It was a bit breezy and we managed to win on all 4 triples which was extremely good. We won by 66 to 43 shots and our highest triple was Candi Ivey, Graham Buchanan and Nigel Shock by 21 to 10 shots.

On Saturday 29th August we played at Denham in a friendly and the weather was not good and the match had to be stopped due to the rain after 7 ends. At that time we were beating them so it counts as a win to us.

On Thursday 27th August our ladies played at Flackwell Heath.  We were extremely lucky with the weather with black clouds, thunder and lightening around us but without a drop of rain to ruin the game.  We all had an enjoyable afternoon and came away with a win to Chalfont of 51 to 47.  Our top (and only winning rink), was Janice Endersby, Angela Cripps and Chris Pound 25 - 8.  Very well done to them!

Due to a technical error the Croxley Guild match scheduled for today has now been corrected to the 9th September.

We decided to have an internal match which we all enjoyed.The weather was just right for us to bowl and we had a lot of fun.

Please put your names down for the next match.

Over this last weekend We played our last two 3 Counties league matches and for a change the temperature dropped enough to make it a bit more comfortable for the players. we played Bassetsbury at Home on Saturday 15th August and we beat them by 104 to 67 shots  and by 9 points to 3. Our top triple was Flora Alderton, Martin Cripps and John Anderson by 29 to 6 shots.

Our top triple was Flora Alderton, John Anderson and Barry Mills by 22 to 13 , Just beating by 1 shot Mike Moir, Denise Williams and George Ivey. Probably our best results in the league this year. Very well done to everyone who took part in these games.

On Monday 10th August we played a ladies match against Chesham Bowls Club.  Yet again it was a very hot day and we were unable to complete the whole match due to the heat so we played 14 ends instead of the usual 18.  Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and Chalfont only lost by a small margin,  33 CSG to Chesham 36.  Our top winning triple was Margaret Timberlake, Denise Rogers and Candi Ivey with a score of 16 - 10.  Well done and thank you to all who played.

On Sunday 12th July our Burnham Plate team played Scot Bowls in the quarter final at home on a very hot morning!  Unfortunately, we were beaten by Scot with a score of 18 to Chalfonts 8.   The game was played in a very friendly manner and, I may be prejudiced, but I don't feel the final score reflects on how close some of the ends were!  Well done to Jan Endersby and Gill Pochetty who played in all five rounds of the competition and to Pam Naish who played in the last two games.  We all enjoyed a lunch after the game with the players from Scot Bowls and, of course, the biggest treat being a cake and bread pudding supplied by Candi.  Thank you Candi, much appreciated.  Thank you to all our supporters, it was lovely to see so many there.
