British Heart Foundation Gala 2015

Thornfield's green carpet was swept with a sea of red as 14 teams took part in the gala raising funds for the British Heart Foundation.

After the first round of games were completed “Bad Pennies” led the way on seven points but five teams trailed just one point behind; “Ladies in Red and Bob”, “Odd Fellows”, “Tommy and the Pacemakers”, “Chelsea” and “Red Bloomers”. Halftime saw “Ladies in Red and Bob” take a one shot lead over “Odd Fellows” and “Tommy and the Pacemakers”. “Misfits” and “Bad Pennies” were fourth and fifth respectively.

Refreshed by the break “Ladies in Red and Bob” doubled their lead over second place “Tommy and the Pacemakers”. Third place was shared between “The Redliners” and “Odd Fellows”, while “Red Bloomers” completed the top five. With the last woods bowled “Ladies in Red and Bob” (Mandy Dahlgren, Sue Henderson, Pat Dahlgren and Bob Henderson) held onto first place, two points clear of “The Redliners” who in turn were two clear of third place “Red Bloomers”. Joint fourth were “The Mayans” and “Tommy and the Pacemakers”, with “Odd Fellows” and “Hope in our Heart” in joint sixth.

The random draw lucky loser prize went to Sue Smith, Jane Reddington, Steve Smith and Paul Reddington, while the wooden spoon went to Joy Jones, Jim Cook, George Atwell and Jim Moss.
