Eighteen teams entered this year’s Mar-
garet Cairns Triples in memory of a lovely
lady who represented East Hanningfield as
a player & helpful fund raiser for the club
and now the clubs chosen charity.
The format for the day was 18 teams
as mentioned with everyone playing five Winners Linda Willingham,
games of eight ends. The day started off
with Margaret’s husband Paul who is the Linda & Sam Lambert,
clubs Chairman thanking the players for attending & wishing everyone a good days bowling.
The competition started well for Barnet
Wood, O.C.B.C 2, O.C.B.C 1 & Stonyhill 2
who all won their first two games, after the
third session there were three teams Barnet
Wood, O.C.B.C 2 & O.C.B.C 1 out in front
on maximum of six points each.
After the fourth round of games which
included O.C.B.C 2 beating there other team
(O.C.B.C 1) by 11 shots to 2 & Barnet Wood
winning against Sanguine 2 10-4, these
were the only teams on maximum points but
O.C.B.C 2 were out in front with a shot dif-
Runners-up ference of plus 30, with Barnet Wood on plus
Rob, John & Gregg Wade 15.
In addition to the leaders chasing the Memorial Rose Bowl there were also a prize up for
grabs for the team that finished last which everyone was trying to avoid for obvious reasons.
After round four there were five teams in with a chance but most eyes were on the Nomads,
West Hanningfield & East Tilbury 1 who were all waiting to get there first points of the day.
In their final games of the day East Tilbury drew with Sanguine2 8-8, Nomads beat
Burham 6-4 & West Hanningfield lost to Willows Park 12 -5 to take the unwanted prize, but
took the prize in very good spirit.
Going into the last round were the leaders with Barnet Wood losing their first game of the
day to EH Horseshoes 12-3 & O.C.B.C 2 beating Stonyhill 1 10-6 to take the Rose Bowl.
The Runners-up were 3G (John, Greg & Rob Wade) who came with a storming finish
winning their last four games after losing their opener. But the winners after being unbeaten all
day were O.C.B.C 2 (Linda Willingham, Sam & Linda Lambert).Congratulations to O.C.B.C
and a big thank you goes to all the kitchen staff for a great ploughman’s lunch & Peggy May
for her cakes & bread pudding.

WRITING YOUR ARTICLES
This is not meant for the above article but for everybody. Please note that semi-final is
hyphenated but not quarter final. This is probably the most changes I have to make
when I spellcheck everything. Also, and I remember this from school (but not much
else!), do not have your stories littered with too many However’s. Again, there are times
when a semi-colon is better than a comma. In the end I spellcheck everything in Word,
so I catch most things, although I do not always agree with their suggested rephrasing
of some sentences. The important thing is that you write in and I will do the rest
