Dinas Powis reach the Carruthers Shield Semi-final

Dinas Powis Bowling Club reached the Semi-final stage of Wales Premier Club Championship with a solid win over Ystradfechan last Saturday. Behind by 4 shots (14 - 18) after 5 ends, the game settled into a pattern of 2 rinks up and 2 rinks down, with the winning rinks more than compensating for the rinks behind. Dinas were 8 shots to the good after 10 ends and built on this as the game progressed. A great team performance saw the losing rinks digging in with the 2 winning rinks surging ahead. The final result, a creditable 17 shot victory (85 - 68) was indeed an excellent team performance and bodes well for the semi -final clash against Porthcawl, with a prospective final clash against either Tenby or Ferndale. Semi-finals and Final will be held on Saturday 21st August at Llandrindod Wells.

Dinas Powis Rink scores:
P Coles, M Woodcock, C Todd, A Meddins 14 - 22
G White, R Osborne, H Meddins, J Greenslade 15 - 21

Dinas Powis reach the Carruthers Shield Quarter Finals

Dinas Powis Bowling Club 1st Team continued their quest to become the Welsh Club Champions with an outstanding home win over Troedyrhiw last Saturday. After a tentative start across the green Dinas trailed Troedyrhiw 15 - 23 at 5 ends. A magnificent surge of quality bowling over the next 5 ends saw Dinas sweep to a 23 shot lead, 51 - 28 at 10 ends. This set the seal on the game and despite a spirited comeback by Troedyrhiw, they could only cut their deficit to 17 shots at 18 ends. Dinas continued to produce quality bowling right to the end and ran out winners with a 94 - 68, 26 shot win.
A fine performance which should give them every confidence for their quarter final clash at home to Ystradfechan on 7th August.
