Home advantage pays dividends

Redditch Editorial 19th Apr, 2017   0

FOR Alcester Bowling Club, the latest crown green results, as is often the case, favoured the home sides.

Having lost by ten shots away from home last week, the A team in Division Two of the Heart of England Over 60s League entertained Yardley Wood Social Club in the return match.

With three winners in John Alderson (superb at 21-5), Ken Craddock and Dave Hovell (both 21-13), and Renny Bannister losing by a single shot, Alcester gained full revenge.

A 27-shot winning margin gave the home side a 13-3 success.




In Division Four the B team, who lost at home to Wythall B the previous week, travelled apprehensively for the return match.

With only two winning cards from John Willis (21-15) and David Hodgson (21-20), they went down to their second defeat of the season by 30 shots.


Wythall picked up 14 points against just two for the visitors.
