Children in Need Gala 2015

Pudsymania hit Rugby Thornfield Indoor Bowls Club as 14 teams battled it out to see who would be crowned winners of the Children in Need Gala 2015.
​
​After the first round of games “Colins Comets” and “X Rail” had recorded a perfect eight points to lead “Kiddywinks” and “Take Heart” by one point. A point further back in joint fifth were “Nappers” and “Mix n Match”. “X Rail” were three points clear heading into the half-time break, “Kiddywinks” and “Mix n Match” were joint second with “Nappers” in fourth and “Atherley Widowers” fifth.

With one set of games left to play “X Rail” still led but “Mix n Match” were now just one point behind them. “Take Heart” were in third place while “Kiddywinks”, “Atherley Widowers”, “Colins Comets”, “The Floral Dance” and “Nappers” were all joint fourth. The gala came down to the wire, “X Rail” and “Mix n Match” both finishing with 25 points. There can only be one winner so it then came down to shots scored which meant this years winners were “Mix n Match” (John and Rita Courtney, Phil Blundell and Mark Courtney) having scored two shots more. Three teams were level in joint third to complete the top five, “Kiddywinks”, “The Floral Dance” and “Nappers”.

A special mention goes to one of the clubs youngest members, Evelyn Wheeler, who helped boost fund by selling home made cakes during the afternoon.
