Baker Cup Prelim Round

This is what focus looks like!

Shipdham v Hempton at Aldiss Park in the Baker Cup

A good crowd turned out to watch both teams and enjoyed a very competitive evening of bowls. Hempton competed well on two rinks but the shot deficit on the third rink made it impossible for them to beat Shipdham. Well done to Shipdham who go on to play in the semis, and perhaps the finals. Commiserations to Hempton. Nothing worse than knowing you did what you needed on your rink but still losing.
