Hi Everyone

Played in the County Ladies against the Mens this afternoon up at Terrance,
Some of the Ladies were left fuming, you had Two Middleton Cup Players in one fours team,
And they took it so seriously,
This is a fun game and the Ladies feel that the men were rigging the teams,
They have won this Competition the last two years, and told us so when they did the speeches,
Think there is going to be some discussion over the matter,

Putting out teams that have all top Bowlers in one team is a bit sneaky, I know the men like to win,
After all its supposed to be a friendly game, Next year the Ladies will have to get all their Best Players out,

Hi Blondie,

You should know by now some men just have to win sod to bowls development etc.

Have seen examples especially indoors where a team deliberately played 1 short in a rink, they lose 25% of the score but have an extra wood apart from the skip. These type of tactics from quite good bowlers ending up ruining the club.
Guess its the Will to win over everything else!!!!

:DHi All,

This has been going on for years now!!! I think women are getting stronger in bowls, 'SO OUR DAY WILL COME'!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of these attitudes of damn to everything else must win at all costs, will come home to roost some day!!!

Hi Oldie,

Good job you don't live in the U.K. as I don't see much improvement in womens bowing around my area, they are too interested in petty rules ie length of skirt etc, I'm quite happy with short skirts, but they don't suit me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):)
