A very warm afternoon for our match at Seaton. Although we had a one point lead on one rink, for the team of Trevor, Ann and Melissa, Budleigh were defeated overall by 75-54.

Our teams played well and put up a good fight but were defeated at Madeira yesterday by a close 8 points. The final overall score was 68-60 in Madeira's favour. Well done everyone for an enjoyable and good friendly game with our hosts.
The very hot day did nothing to deter our players from achieving a great home win today against St. Thomas with a score of 73-53.
Well done to all. A very close but enjoyable game against Exonia on Monday at their club. We lost by a mere 3 points. The final score was 65-68.
Otterleigh Tour 2025
Friends from Budleigh and Ottery were made very welcome by two Cardiff teams at the weekend. The first on Saturday was Mackintosh Bowls Club, who had visited us last year as part of their South West Tour and subsequently invited us back to their club. Our six triples teams all did their best to beat the teams who had achieved a significant win when they visited Budleigh. But despite our best efforts, we were defeated by just four points. It’s not all about the winning! Our second match was against Whitchurch Bowls Club, in the north of Cardiff, another very sociable and friendly club. But the friendliness did not extend to letting us win, and we sadly suffered another defeat on their excellent green. They had some very good players and a lot of ours seemed to beset with injuries and aches and pains. That’s our excuse and we are sticking to it! A great weekend. Thanks to Tony, Gerard and Ralph for organising it. I know a lot of hard work went into it. Hopefully more to come in the future? Another successful quiz night with guest quizmaster, Gerard, who gave us some challenging and thought provoking questions and Dingbats.
The worthy winners are shown above, Ann, Brian (a second win this season), Nina and Ralph, with the Quizmaster, Gerard. Krispies came up trumps again and the fish and chips went down well. Thanks to all for making it an enjoyable and fun evening. Budleigh won on three rinks but the loss on the fourth contributed to our low cumulative score and the narrow defeat of 59 to 66. The fast green proved a challenge for all, especially when a strong wind developed. An enjoyable afternoon with jovial friends.
