    Admittedly....this was from several years ago.......BUT....Cairns needs to think about his ' Throw away comments ' rubbishing ' the parks games ( or the small leagues ) ....that's where the diminishing few youngsters start out in the game.....and that's where the lifeblood to keep the game going needs nurturing !!!!

    Fantastic entertainment. Well done both guys. I’d be lucky to score 5 against either of them.

    I've had the honour of playing on this green recently and it's such a shame that the green has gone, as an 18 year old that plays regular, it's a shame that I will never have the chance to play this green again

    I used to play loads of bowls in the ‘80’s.
    I love the needle out there. I got the same stick when I won the All England Under 18’s back in 1982 and beat a lad from Warwick & Worcestershire in the quarters.
    Anyone remember me?!

      Unfortunately I haven’t played in years mate but I’m determined to get back into it sooner rather than later.

    At 1:06, Black's right foot was not in contact with the footer at the moment of release, for what was deemed a successful strike. Should the referee have intervened? Just asking.

  • @tim40gabby25
    @tim40gabby25 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At 1:05, on 19 across, Black walked down the line of his first bowl, leaving the Footer by 10 feet whilst blocking the view of Blue - you can see Blue trying to see round him. This violates the rules, and should generate either a penalty or final warning from the referree? Just asking.

  • @tim40gabby25
    @tim40gabby25 ปีที่แล้ว

    At 1:01 Blue carried his 2nd bowl up to the jack when inspecting the Head, before returning to the Footer. According to the rules, should that bowl have been considered bowled, and removed from play? Just asking. Nice video.

    Hate watching players with attitude brings the game down as far as I am concerned !! And heard that the Waterloo is closing for good because they can't negotiate a long enough lease towarrent doing repairs ect .

    • @TDE-76
      @TDE-76 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Waterloo is dead. It's rotted away and it'll never return. I live around the corner and it would take triple figures before even attempting to repair it. Leave it as a distant memory. The only time bowling was good is when we got coverage and eyes on it like this, soon as it was canned the whole thing died. RIP Crown Green.

    • @TDE-76
      @TDE-76 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh any by the way the game needed attitude and youth like these guys rather than boring old farts - why do you think Darts took off and not this? Because it had characters and flare! Not enough characters in CGB. Refs with blazers? LOL Its not 1920s anymore. No wonder it died.

      What you mean all the camaraderie and excitement of possibly one of the best matches to grace bowling history? No wonder the game is on its arse if people want it to continue to be dull as dishwater, flat caps and old men. No wonder the darts is way ahead of this game now.
