We spectators sat on the edge of our seats with anticipation of what was to come.
They each had a three-pointer against one another but on the 27th end Denise dropped another three pointer, and it was hard for her to claw back against strong competitor Leonie.
On the 29th end they were 23/23. Leonie drew two very nice bowls close to the jack which invited Denise to attack. Attack she did with a firm weighted bowl (drive) hoping to split the head but missed narrowly.
Result was 25/23 in Leonie Gilford’s favour. Commiserations Denise.
Congratulations on a super match of concentration and very good sportsmanship you both displayed. There was great applause from the gallery.
History on these two good competitors is:
- 2015 – L. Gilford def D. Matheson
- 2016 – D. Mathson def L. Gilford
- 2017 – L. Gilford def D. Matheson
The rivalry is strong between these two, don’t you agree?
