St Andrews Bowling Club's men began their Somerset County League campaign with a narrow victory over Clarrie Dunbar.
The four-shot winning margin was mainly due to the home rinks, who finished up by a total of 23 shots.
This was helped by the visitors being a player short.
Full credit was also given to the away rinks, with Jack Bullock's rink recovering from being 3-18 down after 12 ends to eventually lose by only eight.
