St Andrews men’s bowls team shocked Clevedon Promenade, who play two divisions above them, with a convincing home victory in the North Somerset KO Cup on Sunday.

With rain in the forecast, the captains had agreed they would restrict the game to 15 ends instead of 18 if it got wet which proved a wise move, as the heavens opened with most rinks having just got past the 15th.

Saints’ match-winners were Derek Hurst’s rink, who, with captain Robin Potter outstanding, won by 16 shots.

A six helped Brian Reeves and his men finish three clear in their match, while the other winning home skip was David Stott.

There was a terrific comeback by Darrell Johnston’s rink, 0-13 down after just three ends they came back to lose by just six and help St Andrews to the overall 79-63 victory.

The Saints men and women also notched up good wins in the league.

The women won all three rinks at home to Victoria Blue in the County League, with Joan Duffy’s trio picking up a final-end three to win by two.

The men were too good for Yatton in the over-55 league, taking 18 of the 20 points on offer despite a heavy green.

Mike Davies made his club debut on a winning rink.

To complete another successful week for the club, the North Somerset Mixed League and Fantastic Fives indoor teams also won.
