Bowls: Colwyn Bay RBL beat Penmaenmawr

Jun 17 2010

REIGNING champions Colwyn Bay RBL were too sharp for hosts Penmaenmawr A and romped to a 10-4 victory in Section A of the North Wales Coast Bowls League.

Rhos Park A crashed 11-3 at Beaumaris, Mark Whiteley 21-6 the pick for the visitors, while over on the mainland bottom-of-the-table Bangor City celebrated their first win of the season with a resounding 12-2 rout of Llanrwst, John Bailey 21-13 the Rwsters’ best.

Pacemakers Denbigh A had to graft for their 8-6 win over second-placed rivals Blaenau Ffestiniog.

This narrow success extends Denbigh’s lead to 11 points but second-from- bottom Llanfairpwll were just pipped 8- 6 at home by third-placed Deganwy.

Section B toppers Rhos Park B had to settle for a 9-5 margin at home to Conwy.

Llandudno A helped Rhos’ title ambitions by pipping second-from-top Fron Park 8-6 with Caernarfon despatching Eirias Park 10-4 and Mochdre sharing a 7-7 split with Min-y-Don.

There were no matches in Sections C or D on Saturday.

LAST Tuesday in the Blackwell Hydraulics Welsh Counties League, there was no joy for hosts Deganwy Jones Roofing as they suffered a resounding 8- 2 defeat at the hands of invincible Esclusham who go 14 points clear.

Deganwy’s only winners were Scott Todd 21-4 and Daniel Jones 21-13 but the hosts kept the aggregate close on 133- 143.

Colwyn Bay RBL slipped to bottom place after falling 8-2 at Cunliffe in a 149- 101 split, Craig Richardson 21-10 the Bay’s pick, Chris Slater 21-13.

Llay saw off deposed second-placed Llanrwst 7-3, John Bailey and Martin Hughes, both 21-15, and Anthony Bailey 21-19 responding in a 154-122 margin.

Rhos Park and St Asaph figured in a rare 5-5 draw. Trailing 132-157 on the aggregate, Rhos missed out despite producing five winners due to Saints hero Lewis Scott carding 21-2.

Ivor Jones 21-13, Steve Lawley 21-14, Michael Whalley 21-17 and Mark Whiteley and Colin Evans, both 21-20, were the Rhos successes.
