IN the most atrocious conditions, Windsor and their opponents Pontyclun battled to complete the match although the number of ends had to be reduced for safety reasons.

The result was another win for Windsor Firsts by 60 shots to 50.

This was a major step towards securing another season in the Second Division following their promotion last year.

Matt Woodcock with Tom Evans, Phil Gooding and Clive Palfrey raced into a 12 shot lead and finished on 16 shots to 6. There was also another win for Ken McLeod with Mike Matthews, Keith Williams and Derek Davies by 13 shots to 9.

In the absence of Rod Hudson, Ian Paterson moved to skip but along with Richard Flitney, Pete Morrish and Mal Hope, they went down by 13 shots to 10.

It was another last end disappointment for Graham Carlisle with Steve Ellard, Frank Coleman and David Rees.

Holding 2 shots, a brilliant last wood from the Pontyclun skip stole the show and gave the visitors a one shot rink win.

The match win meant another 10 league points for the Windsor men.

The PG2 team faced similar conditions at Cardiff Athletic and the match was eventually abandoned after 11 ends.

There was no success for the Munro Cup team away at Rhoose.

They were quite simply hammered but of course they were able to use the regulatory excuse that they were unable to adjust to an artificial bowling surface.

It is another proud week for Windsor with two teams having progressed to the National Finals at Llandrindod.

Ian Paterson and Ken McLeod appear in the Over 60s Pairs and Rod Hudson, Ian Paterson and Matt Woodcock appear in the Open Triples.

On Monday August 6th the Club staged the annual Jack Munroe Cup Tournament and the eventual winners were Moyra Owen and Richard Flitney who defeated Di Thomas and Rod Hudson in an exciting final.

For the Ladies, there was only one match and despite winning and drawing a rink away at Rhiwbina, they lost overall by 5 shots.

Sue Howells, Bernice Roberts, Di Roper and Moyra Owen 9/20. Brenda Dunlop, Sharon Paterson, Ann Morrish and Kay Dyer 20/14. Angela Hudson, Margaret Jones, Veronica Flitney and Di Thomas 16/16.
