Bowls Victory for Swanmead
|
The second annual Bowls match took place last week between Maiden Beech, Crewkerne and Swanmead Community School in Ilminster. Children aged from 10 to 13 took part following a number of coaching sessions at their respective clubs. |
| Swanmead pupils have been attending sessions at the Ilminster Bowling Club where they have been coached by Louis Ridout who works at the school and is a current England player. The Maiden Beech team have visited the Severalls Jubilee Bowling Club where they have been tutored by Hilary and Ken Leamon plus Harry Black (all coaches from the club). Both groups were escorted by SSCO Bob Brunt. |

| The pupils showed how well they have listened and practised with a good standard of play throughout the afternoon. Maiden Beech were behind on both rinks. In the end Swanmead won by 18 shots to 12. |

| A presentation followed as past Committee members Pru and Ken Robbins have donated a cup to be competed for each year by the two schools. The Robbins Cup was presented to the victorious Swanmead team by the Robbins family in front of more than twenty spectators from both towns. Many adults commented how nice it was to see children playing with no arguing and lots of encouragement for their team members. |
