Karl Ackerman

Rhydlewis Bowling Club

Suddenly, on Wednesday, 5th Novermeber, Karl Ackerman passed away.

Karl was one of the founder members of Rhydlewis Bowling Club, formed in March, 2004. A faithful member, and one of the regular team players, he was well known in the bowling circuit and loved by all. It is a tragic loss to the club and all who met him and knew him through bowls in the county will miss him sorely.

Our thoughts are with his family.

Father and Son claim another victory in the County Pairs

The County Pairs competition was played on Saturday at Cardigan Indoor Bowls Centre and twenty-eight pairs of players had an exhilarating day. Grouped into seven lots of four pairs and eventual eight teams went into the quarter-final games.

Margaret and Jill Howell from Cilgerran overcame Goronwy and John Davies from Llandygwydd and then defeated Carwyn and Robert to reach the final.

Meanwhile Rydlewis's Medwyn and Ceri Jones overcame their opponents to meet the Shipp brothers, Darren and Ryan, from Penrhiwllan.

However the tide was not right for the Shipps and father and son team went on to play a good final game against Margaret and Jill and taking the trophy. Carwyn and Robert also overcame Darren and Ryan to take the third place position.

The Jones family will have to get a bigger mantelpiece as this is the second trophy they have won this season - well done.

County Fours – a Fourgone Conclusion

Twenty players gathered at the Cardigan Indoor Bowling Club on 22nd November to contest the County Fours Competition. Split into two groups of five teams, they played a ‘round-robin’ contest to get the top two teams in each group.

The semi-finals produced two teams from Rhydlewis and two from Penrhiwllan (with a little help from other clubs).

The result of the play-off to find the third team was a win for Derek Rees, Jean Jones, Islwyn Nash and Paul Edwards.

The final was between Medwyn Jones, Alun Thomas, Osian Elias, Ceri Jones and Alan Davies, Avril Williams, Carwyn Evans and Robert Evans.

Regular readers of this column will know what’s coming.

The Rhydlewis team with the Dynamic Duo of Medwyn and Ceri Jones took the title to add yet another trophy to their collection.

Congratulations to all who competed and to the winners.
