Over Sixties Singles - Preliminary Round

First ever singles match this afternoon, the winner being the first to 21. Really up for this one, and much encouraged when my opponent mentioned he was thinking of giving up bowls and suffered from gout in his bowling arm.

Pretty quickly realised maybe bowling wasn't quite so easy. Hardly got a look in and ended the match losing 5-21. How embarrassing!

Lesson learned : Boy, do I need some tuition! Oh, and never get suckered by your opponent's ailments... given the average age of bowlers it's likely they can all drum up something worse than you've got!
