Castlefields showed grit and determination to remain on course for their first title in 7 years with a 9-5 home win over Bowring by just 3 chalks. Bowring could have easily claimed the whole of the first four, with Aaron King winning comfortably 9 and Phil Jones coming from 18-16 down to win 19. With Dave Lloyd leading 20-10 and John Cooke level in his game with Adie Rowe it looked like it could be a dream start for the Wellington side. But Rich Goddard from 20-10 down played some great stuff over at the middle but Dave looked to have won the match with a foot bowl at 20 across. However\u00a0Rich flipped his peg to lick it and win his game. Adie Rowe was 19-18 down against John but played three good ends to get out and the Fields were relieved to be 2 across but down by 11 on shots.<\/p>\n

Into the middle and Jamie Fletcher came back from 19-14 down against Mike Beer to actually lead 20-19 and lead an inch bowl on a straight peg. But Mike played it out and got out next end to win 20. Rich Lawson was a few down against Adam Jones before Adam played a great bowl to save game at 20-18 down but Rich got out next end. Ayden Smith and Paul Williams was a very close game to before Paul won 19, and with Steve Duckett beating Josh Bradburn 14 it meant the home side were 5-3 up but down by 3 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

At the back and the Fields turned the screw on the game with Graham virtually running out from 12-10 up to win 12 on a round peg, and Callum was comfortable winning 8 to seal the aggregate for the league leaders. Rob Roden was always ahead in winning 10 and Reece Farr running out from 18-14 down to gain a great 5 in the end for the Bowring.<\/p>\n

The win means that Castlefields are 9 clear ahead of their clash with the team directly below them, Sir John Bayley, on Friday. Bowring move up to 5th place and are two points off Hanwood in 4th.<\/p>\n

Callum Wraight now leads the averages by 25 shots on aggregate with Mike Beer also on the same number of wins but in 4th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
