The Scunthorpe rink of Ron Shucksmith, Jackie Pettitt, Tom Whiteley and Ray Robinson produced some excellent form and maintained it to reach the Quarter-finals. They continued on their winning form by securing victories in the Quarter and Semi-finals over two quality Spanish rinks to qualify for the Final.
In the final the Robinson quartet faced another rink from Spain and with both rinks playing well the Scunthorpe four took an early lead of 3 to 1 shots. At this point the Spanish rink fought their way back to level the scores at 4 shots each followed by the Scunthorpe quartet regaining the lead by 5 to 4 shots.
The final end of this 8 end game produced some top class bowling from both rinks cheered on by an extremely large crowd of spectators that produced tremendous vocal support of the likes of a football match. Unfortunately the Robinson rink lost 2 shots on this final end to disappointingly lose the final by a single shot at 6 to 5 shots after an excellent overall performance throughout the tournament. |
