The past week was another successful week for Feniton Bowls Club, writes Roger Smith.

In the Exeter and District over 60s league the A team defeated Budleigh Salterton 40-25 to finish as runners up in Division Three and thereby win promotion to Division Two for next year.

The winning rinks were D Sanders, R North and J Skinner (24-13) and M Evans, A Smith and R Smith (16-12). The B team finished their season with a good 41-28 away win at Crediton and consequently finished mid-table in Division Five. The winning was C Maynard, L Let and R Clarke (23-8).

The mixed team lost their friendly with local rivals Ottery St Mary by 94 shots to 84. The winning rink was V Jones, A Morgan, J Smith and I Veitch (27-12).

However, they enjoyed a comfortable 127-93 win against visitors Wellington.

The winning rinks were V Jones, T Cox and R Clarke (31-8), M Evans, F Jones and D Conbeer (24-11), G Blackmore, D Sanders and L Ley (25-13) and A Hughes, B Bowden and R Vietch (21-17).

The week concluded with the Club President’s Day. Club president, Mr Richard North laid on an excellent spread and the whole afternoon was enjoyed by everyone.

The Spider was won by Roy Lovering and the bowls competition was narrowly won by F Jones, Ru Clarke and R Smith with a score of plus 14. The proceeds from the day of £230 went to the Parkinson’s Society.
