Games Night 2018

Some photos from last night’s Bowls section games evening at Ember. It was a close set of matches across a range of games, but the ‘dream team’ of Pat O’Hagan, Mike Cutts and Louise Griffith pipped the others to the post and took 1st place by a third of a point – congratulations to the winners!
Thanks to all for taking part and special thanks to Dick Jones, Linda Pillman, Ken Homewood and all who organised the evening and provided some great food and drink.

B League v Sussex County (Home)

Saturday 15^th September: Ember 2 – 1 Sussex County (Southwick)

Bob and Mike had a close game with Southwick’s doubles pairing (Debora and Morgan) but eventually lost out by 5 hoops in the morning. Mike was full of cold and not his usual sparkling self. Bob hit a beautiful, but unintentional jump shot, at a time when, at last, he looked like he was stringing a break together.

John rushes, while Steve waits to pounce.

Steve took on John from Southwick in the first of the two Singles games in the afternoon. John took an early lead, and much to his frustration Steve set up the lawn perfectly but kept on misjudging the croquet shot to the first hoop. Then, bang, Steve started to motor and, after a couple of scintillating breaks put the game out of reach, he won 24-10.

Winners! Bob, Steve and Roger (Absent: Mike)

In the third and final game, another Singles game paired Ember captain, Roger, against Southwick’s Robyn, who was new to AC but a low handicap GC player. Her hitting in was marvellous but Roger was too strong tactically, whittling down Robyn’s 12 bisques to tie the game at the bell. Robyn could not make anything of her turn, so Roger strode up, croqueted his yellow in front of the hoop and masterfully knocked it through to win the golden hoop, the game and the match!

The Ember Players present: "A Bolt From The Blue"

Edward Jones is just an ordinary guy, doing ordinary things – if you count scaling towering electricity pylons for a living as ordinary! Then, the day before his 40th birthday, he gets struck by lightning!
What happens next is, quite literally, incredible. It defies logic and the fundamental laws of nature. It is a very funny and quite poignant story.
