Division 2 Result |
Naismith 60 1/4 (2) Star & Crescent 76 (14)
Star achieved their belated first away league victory of the
season at Swordsands albeit against a depleted Naismith team
who played with 3 men short. Although (on paper) that means
the task of winning should be simpler this was not the case
as on net scores we would have won the match by just 76-75.
When the dust had settled and with the mandatory 25% of the
score deleted from those reduced rinks there were wins for
the rinks of Robbie Dennison (23-11 1/4) & Simon Filippi
(22-12) whilst Geoff Dyer's four went down by 10-21.
In only the "legit" encounter of the evening, Steve Sprake's
foursome had a well earned win in a close fought contest
21-16. |

Colin Lihou who defeated Paul Wright 21-10 and Steve Sprake
who was given a walkover. |
|
P&D Competition Results |
Results in the P&D singles haven't been too kind for
Simon Filippi this season. As the reigning champion it was
disappointing for Simon to relinquish his title in the first
round after he lost at Forton to Neil Bunter 15-21.
There was further frustration for Simon when losing on the
"immaculate" Gosport green to Simon Batchelor in the over
60's singles. To complete the bad results Stephen Greenwood
also lost in the singles 16-21 to Dave Ellis of Waverley. |

Division 2 Result |
Star & Crescent 87 (12)
Portsmouth Water 71 (4) In a much needed win, Star overcame
their depleted opponents and shared the rink points. Alan
New's rink was a tad unlucky after a spirited fight back
from a losing position to be pipped on the final end 17-18.
After a shaky start Geoff Dyer's men took control of the
match against the 3-man rink of the Watermen and racked up a
huge 30-9 victory. Robbie Dennison's four somehow
found themselves 18-1 up at the halfway stage and then
reality set in; their lead was dramatically reduced to 26-17
at the final. Simon Filippi's rink was all square on
the 11th end but finished badly winning just one of the
remaining ends to finish 14-27 adrift.

Friday 17th June v Portsmouth Water (home) in
Division 2 starting at 6.00 pm |
Star & Crescent 53 Fareham 100 Our interest in
the competition ended when we were outplayed by our 1st
division opponents. Disappointingly, the team conceded a
century of shots for a second consecutive match. There were
big losses for the rinks of Alan New (9-31) & Robbie
Dennison (6-28) whilst Simon Filippi's four were defeated by
a much lesser margin of 15-22. However, there was a positive
for Star when Geoff Dyer's foursome had a credible 23-19 win
against their adversaries. |
|
Combination Division 3 Result |
Waverley Red 70 Star & Crescent
46 In the game last evening against our “landlords”
Star were very slow out of the blocks again and after only 5
ends were 23 shots adrift. Once Alan New and his crew got on
the scoreboard, they more than matched their opponents for
the remainder of the game to lose by 10 shots to 22. Paul
Whiffin’s rink were always struggling
against a very good foursome whose Skip produced a range of
saving shots when Star were looking to put scores on the
board. They finally lost by 12 shots to 27. Saving the best
for last, the Bob Weaver combo were the only winners on the
night when they recovered from the depths of 13-1 down to
achieve a notable 24-21 victory. They even survived dropping
5 shots on the penultimate end to make the finish more
exciting!! |
As a brief afterthought on our recent performances,
it is essential that concentration is maintained throughout
the game. Watch all the bowls delivered, see the lines
taken, compose yourself when you are on the mat, and then
bowl the perfect wood! What could be simpler? |
|
Rowland Cup |
As previously mentioned, both Waverley & Star have
been drawn at home in the next round of the Rowland Cup.
Should Waverley have their expected win in their rearranged
match against Alexandra Blue on 30th June then our game
against Waterlooville Green which was scheduled for
Monday 4th July will then be played on Monday 18th July. |

Division 2 Result |
Gosport 125 (16) Star & Crescent 36 (0) There's no
point in soft soaping around the result of this fixture, it
was a totally unexpected and very embarrassing annihilation
which must go down as one of the worst defeats in Star's
history, if not the worst. No rink can come away with
any positives - it was that bad. Granted Gosport were the
better team on the night but should there be an 89 shot
difference between the two sides; I don't think so we're
better than that. The fact is that between all 4 rinks we
only managed to win 24 of the 84 ends of the match. YES we
had an understrength team with some of the better players
missing but it was virtually the same team that beat Milton
Park earlier in the week. YES the green was heavy & long
with difficult hands to play but we need to adjust to these
greens when playing away, we know what's coming. It is
noticeable that we've lost every one of our away matches
this season without a sniff of victory yet we've won all our
home matches so far. That tells a story, we've got so
used to our small & fast green that we've been spoilt. We
need to change our mindset when playing away or else we'll
find ourselves languishing at the foot of the table. To cap
it all there was none of Gosport hospitality of previous
years with no light refreshment provided after the match.
Definitely a night to forget. |

P&D Website |
Late
Tuesday Afternoon, the P&D web manager - Albie Somerset -
suffered a major heart attack. Thankfully, he has survived
but is still in intensive care. As such the P&D website will
not be updated for a while. As an interim measure, the
league secretary will be sending the league table PDF's (ie
league, combination & midweek triples) to the affected
clubs. The P&D are also looking at how they can get updates
out for P&D competitions and will let us all know at a later
date.

Combination Division 3 Result |
Star & Crescent 68 (12) Bedhampton 47 (0) Star resumed their combination league
duties after several weeks’ inactivity with a reasonably
comfortable victory over a resolute Bedhampton side. To say
that Star started slowly would be something of an
understatement. After 4 ends the home team were 16 shots
adrift. However, from that point things improved
dramatically. Bob Weaver’s rink powered away by winning 13
of the remaining ends to triumph by 30 shots to 18. Alan New
and his quartet similarly began rather sluggishly by
declining to trouble the scorers until the 6th end. From
that point they steadily accumulated shots to finish the
game 21-14 victors. Paul Whiffin and his men had a much more
even game with the lead changing hands several times during
the evening. However, I must put on record the two
magnificent bowls sent down by the Skip which were not only
“touchers” but ensured that the rink won by the narrow
margin of 17 shots to 15. Considering that several regular
members were absent for a number of reasons it was an
efficient victory over the league leaders and a welcome
opportunity to include some of our most recent recruits who
I trust both enjoyed and learned from the experience. |

Rowland Cup Result |
Star & Crescent 88 Milton Park 72 Star completed a
hat-trick of wins against Milton Park last night, this time
in the Rowland Cup. The away side were favourites to
win at the 18th end when leading but a tremendous run in by
Star who scored an unlikely 23 shots to 4 over the final
ends secured the (unexpected) victory with Star winning on
2-rinks & drawing on the other 2. Robbie Dennison's
rink won 21-17 when the jack was moved in their favour with
the last wood of the game. Geoff Dyer's four recovered
from a bad patch losing 9 consecutive ends to rally around &
turn a losing match into a draw by scoring 11-shots on the
last 3-ends to finish 24 apiece. Simon Filippi's foursome
stumbled over the last few ends after leading but hung on to
secure a draw 18-18. Alan New's much changed rink also had a
great finish to their game and scored a dozen shots without
reply in the closing stages to win by 25-13. |
|
In the next round our opponents will be
Waterlooville, thankfully at home again. As with the
previous round if Waverley win their re-arranged Rowland Cup
match against Alexandra they will also be at home in the
next round. Although scheduled for Monday 4th July there
would be a change of date depending who was first out of the
hat: methinks it was Waverley meaning a re-scheduled cup
date for Star. We'll cross that bridge when the situation is
clarified. |

Division 2 Result |
Star & Crescent 97 (12) Milton Park 72 (4) It was a
welcome league victory for Star last night in the first
match of the trilogy of games against Milton Park.
Unmistakably, the architect for this win has to be credited
to the rink of Steve Greenwood, Derek Greeman, Alan New &
skip Steve Sprake who had a superb result in winning 33-11.
Our other rink points was accumulated by Geoff Dyer's
foursome who had a fine 23-17. In a tight match they took
control of the match from the 16th end to run out worthy
winners. The other 2-rinks were narrowly defeated; Robbie
Dennison's four was just pipped on the post & lost by the
narrowest margin of 18-19 whilst Simon Filippi's four, with
Richie Farman making his debut for the club, lost 23-25 in a
high scoring match . |

Obituary
It is with great sadness that I have
to inform you that Brian Banfield passed away suddenly at
the weekend.
Brian joined the club in 2010 and was a regular in the
league side until ill health forced him to give up bowls
this season. I will pass on details for the funeral when
known. RIP Brian |

Division 2 Result |
Vospers 80 Star & Crescent 65 Things looked good for
Star up to the 15th end with only 1-shot between the two
teams but they they lost ground over the final ends and
suffered another away day defeat at the hands of the
division's leaders. Robbie Dennison's rink
suffered a dose of travel sickness which could only explain
their disappointing performance when losing 13-27. Simon
Filippi's four took control of their game at the mid-way
stage and maintained it to the end to win 20-16. Steve
Sprake's quartet trailed from the off and failed to catch
their opponents before losing 10-22. Our other winning
rink was by Geoff Dyer & his men who led from start to
finish to finish with a credible 22-15 victory. |

Rowland Cup |
The club has been drawn to play Milton Park at home
in the next round of the Rowland Cup on Monday 6th June.
Unfortunately, Waverley have also been drawn at home on that
night against Alexandra Blue. As per P&D Competition
Rule 14.3.3 Star have first dibs for playing at home on the
6th June as they were the "first out of the hat" whilst the
Waverley v Alex Blue match should be re-arranged for another
date before 2nd July. However, Waverley have asked
politely if we wouldn't mind re-arranging our match instead.
In the interest of close harmony & friendship with our
neighbours, I have asked Dave Brown, Milton Park Captain, if
they are agreeable to a change of date for this fixture.
At the moment, I have had no definite reply rom Milton Park
on this request so watch this space. |

Bridgemary 40 Star & Crescent 26 Our involvement in
this competition didn't last too long as we fell at the
first fence at Bridgemary in a below par performance.
Robbie Dennison's rink started like an express train
notching up a considerable lead before hitting the buffers
and finishing with a disappointing loss of 15-16. Steve
Sprake's foursome were always behind & couldn't make any
headway against their opponents before losing 11-24. |

County Club |
The club proceeded into the next round of the County
Club last night when (un)fortunately a member of the
Portsmouth Water team failed to turn up for the match. As
the Watermen were unable to field a full complement of 16
players they had to concede the match and hand Star a
walkover. The the two sides however played out the
game as a friendly. Just for the record, Star won 63-47
thanks to the rinks of Alan New & Steve Sprake winning 23-7
& 20-10 respectively. It was also a good opportunity
to blood our new recruits Paul Wright & Richie Farman into
the team. |
In the next round on Thursday 2nd June we have been
drawn at home to play Milton Park. |

Division 2 Result |
Milton Park 80 (12) Star & Crescent 60 (4) Star
suffered their 2nd defeat of the season going down to Milton
Park. The team were struggling to stay in the match
from the 10th end when they found themselves lagging by 19
shots. Although the rink points were shared, we were 2nd
best on the night. It could have been a whitewash for the
team but Simon Filippi's & Robbie Dennison's foursomes scored last gasp shots to win their rinks with their final
woods of the night. In a tight match, Simon and his men took
the lead from the halfway stage but had to hold on to secure
a 17-14 win. Robbie was indebted to his front three in
securing a 17-10 lead but the rink faltered in the closing
stages and just got over the line 18-17. Alan New's
quartet were always playing catch-up with their opposite
numbers but couldn't quite manage to overhaul them and
before losing 17-22. It's best not to dwell too long
concerning Geoff Dyer's rink only to say it wasn't their
night and they went down 8-27. |
|
Postponed Division 2 Match |
As there is a function at Waverley this Friday, it
was thought prudent to postpone the match in the likelihood
of any "distraction". P&D BA have agreed to this proposal
therefore the home match scheduled for Friday 20th May
against Gosport is OFF. |

Lee-on-the-Solent "C" 39 Star & Crescent 60.
Star got
their first 12 pointer of the season when they outplayed Lee
at their sunny but breezy home. Paul Whiffin and his “boys”
got off to a blistering start and were leading 13 shots to 1
after 6 ends. Despite a modest recovery by their opponents
they ran out worthy winners 24-14. It was a similar story
with the Alan New combine who were 15-4 to the good on the
9th end. Although they only won another 3 ends they
restricted Lee to no more than a single shot per end. Final
score 18-13. It was virtually a case of “same again “ with
the Bob Weaver rink. A good start and a steady performance
saw them triumph by 18 shots to 12. Overall a very pleasing
showing on, arguably, the best bowling green (for some) in
the area . The only downside were the traffic problems some
members had to endure on their journey to Lee.
Unfortunately that is the last Combination game until the
8th June when we entertain Bedhampton at the Waverley. |

College Park Red |
The College Park Secretary has informed P&D BA that
College have had no option but to withdraw their Red Side
from Combination Division 3 due to a lack of players who
wish to play in the evenings - another hang over from Covid. As
such, they have been deleted from the table. This withdrawal
will hit our combination team hard with the consequence
that after this week's match at Lee-on-the-Solent the team will not then have another game until Wednesday
8th June when we play Bedhampton (home).

Combination Division 3 Result |
Star & Crescent B 52 Cosham Park
43
The Combination team got their first win of the season on
Wednesday evening when they overcame a resolute Cosham Park
side at the Waverley by 52 shots to 43. Pride of place must
go to the rink skipped by Robin Philbrick who were leading
all game and triumphed by 26 shots to 10. The Bob Weaver
four started slowly (!) and it wasn’t until the 15th end
that they managed to get their noses in front. Despite
losing the last 3 ends victory was achieved by a couple of
shots 16-14. By contrast Paul Whiffin and his men struggled
and although briefly taking the lead on the 14th end failed
to trouble the scorers again and lost by 19 shots to 10. In
mitigation unavailability and health issues impacted on team
selection so gaining a win and 10 points was a more than
decent performance.

Division 2 Result |
Star & Crescent 101 Naismith 57
1/4 It was also a first
win of the season for the A team who ramped up a century of
shots and scoring 14 points to the bargain. The catalyst for
the victory was the rink of Robin Philbrick, John Bell, Paul
Whiffin & Robbie Dennison who were in top form as their
winning score of 38-6 1/4
would indicate. It was a game of 3-thirds
for Simon Filippi's four who raced into a 14-3 lead then
found themselves pegged back to 14-14 before recovering to
win 27-15. It was nip & tuck on Geoff Dyer's rink but they
proved the stronger of the two sides and came from behind to
win 20-17. Steve Sprake's quartet had a "modest" start to
their match & found themselves 15-2 down at the half-way
stage but an excellent second half performance saw them
reduce the deficit to lose by just 16-19. |

College Park Red |
I have just been notified that College Park Red have
withdrawn immediately from Combination Division 3.
Unfortunately, this will obviously effect the combination
team's fixtures. |

Division 2 Result |
Portsmouth Water 72 (15) Star & Crescent 64
1/2 (1) Our resources were stretch
to the limit for this match but unfortunately just failed
short in putting out a full team; playing a man short.
Although the result says otherwise, the team put up a
credible performance and were a shade unlucky to come away
with just a single rink win. In fact up to the 18th end we
had our noses in front but a bad finish ended our hopes of
victory. Bob Weaver's quartet did very well to pull back
from being 4-13 down at the half way stage to pull level
only to lose the momentum on the closing stages finishing at
15-25. Simon Filippi was the rink with a man down and
led all the way on the scorecard (22-17) but had had to
suffer the consequence of losing 25% of their score which
resulted in a cruel defeat of 1/2 shot ie 16
1/2-17. Many thanks to Gareth
Davies who came out of retirement to help us in this match.
There was never much between the two sides in Geoff Dyer's
match who were all square at the 19th but sadly it was the
home team who won the last 2-ends to snatch the points with
a score line 18-15. After the 6th end, Robbie
Dennison's rink took control (sort of!) of their match to
win 18-12 and secure the rink points. |

Combination Division 3 Result |
Star & Crescent B 47 (1) Milton Park B 52 (11) Star
started their season with a disappointing defeat at home to
Milton Park last evening. In a closely fought game there
were never more than a few shots between the teams. The
Geoff Dyer four gained a creditable point when they picked
up a shot on the last end to draw 20-20. By way of contrast
the Bob Weaver skipped rink gave away 4 shots on the 19th
end and despite winning the last 2 ends failed to catch
their opponents before going down by 1 shot 14-15. Paul Whiffin
also had a very close match which could have gone either way
until the last end which saw the home team on the wrong side
of a 13-17 score line. Overall, a decent performance which
offers encouragement for the matches to come. Any negative
thoughts after the game were soon forgotten when the teams
enjoyed a post match sausage and chips repast in the
clubhouse! |

Waverley Fees 2022 |
To ease the
disappointment of Waverley's decision not to fulfill the
promise they made in 2020 for half price season tickets this
year, your committee has agreed that those
members who, in good faith, paid the full Waverley fees in
2020 will be subsidised to the tune of £20.00/per member towards the cost of their 2022 Waverley
fees. The
full fees will be the same as pre-Covid times ie £90.00 for
members under 65 years of age and £80.00 for the more senior
members aged over 65. Please note that this offer does not
apply to those members who only paid the £15.00 Social
Membership fees in 2020.
|
|
To try to attract new members to the club, the
committee has also decided to offer the incentive of half
price fees (for 1 year only) to new members who sign for the
club. |

Thanks to Simon Filippi's recruitment centre, we
welcome a new member, Derek Greeman, to the club. We
hope he enjoys his time and bowling whilst at the club. |

League & Combination fixtures for season 2022 have been

all the teams will be playing each other 4 times rather than
3 meaning there will be 20-games for each team in this
division. This could be a real struggle with our
limited resources to field a full team each week throughout
the season. As it stands, the "A" team will start
off the season on Friday 29th April with an away match at
Portsmouth Water. The team's first home match will be
against Naismith on 6th May. The combination side will
play 14 matches starting with home matches on 27th April &

before their first away match at Lee-on-the-Solent C. |

Rebalancing
League Divisions for the 2023 Season
|
After the decision at the SGM to run 2022 with
divisions of 9, 6 & 6, the P&D Competition Committee met
afterwards and agreed to rebalance to 3 Divisions of 7 teams
for the 2023 Season. |
This will be achieved as follows at the end of the 2022
Season:
i).
Promotion: Only winners of divisions 2 & 3 will be promoted.
ii).
Relegation: Bottom 3 from division 1 & bottom 2 from
division 2. |
|
Rebalancing League Divisions if
Less than 21 Sides are Entered
|
The SGM voted that if we get to the
position of having less than 21 sides, then the league was
to be run with 2 divisions. In order to achieve this, the
Competition Committee further decided the following:
|
|
·
Post 2023 Season i).
The side who finishes bottom of division 1 in the
season just ended will be relegated to division 2.
ii).
The top 4 sides from division 2 will be promoted to
the new division 1. iii).
Division 2 will then consist of: the relegated
division 1 side, the remaining division 2 sides & all
division 3 sides.
|
|
· Post 2022 Season
i).
The side who finishes bottom of division 1 will be
relegated to division 2 ii).
Only the top 2 sides from division 2 will be promoted
to the new division 1.
|
|
2022
Combination League Divisions
|
As only 32 sides have been entered by
the Clubs for 2022, then the Competition Committee also
agreed that the combination league would consist of 4
divisions of 8 Sides. This has been achieved as follows:
· Only the 2019 divisional winners have been
promoted (shown in upper case below)
·
Further sides have been relegated (shown in italics
below), based on the final 2019 tables, as follows:
i).
Division 1 - bottom 3 ii).
Division 2 - bottom 4 iii).
Division 3 - bottom 4
|
|
All of which means that the sides in
the 2022 divisions are as follows:

Waverley Fees 2022 |
With regard to the fees
due for next season, the Southsea
Waverley Bowling Club committee have unfortunately decided
that they are unable to fulfill the promise they made in
2020
and have withdrawn the offer of half price season
tickets for 2022. The fees will be
the same as for pre-Covid times ie £90.00 for under 65s &
£80.00 for the older brigade of over 65. I know this
will invoke anger & disappointment with you, and I share
your sentiments, but unfortunately we are in no position but
to accept Waverley's decision. |
|
P&D Leagues 2022 |
Only 21 clubs have indicated
they would be running a league side for the 2022 season
after Crofton, Hayling Island & Emsworth dropped theirs.
This means that, based on the promotion & relegation after
the completion of the 2019 season, the clubs that make up
each division are, currently, as follows:
Division 1 - 9 sides, Division 2 - 6 sides & Division 3 -6
sides.
This imbalance of numbers was addressed at a SGM on
9 December so that each Division has the same number of
sides (7).
|
|
Three options were proposed:
1). Rebalance immediately so that the 2022
League would consist of 3 Divisions of 7 sides.
2). Run 2022 with Div. 1 having 8 Sides; Div. 2
with 7 Sides; Div. 3 with 6 sides
3).
Run 2022 with the Divisions made up of 9, 6 & 6
sides,
rebalancing would take place over three years.
Option 3 was overwhelming voted for.
|
|
This means that Star & Crescent will be in Division
2 next season with the following teams: Vospers, Portsmouth
Water, Gosport, Milton Park & Naismith with each team
playing each other 3 times. |
|
Running the League
with less than 21 sides was also
discussed & voted on.
It was decided that should this happened, the league would
run with 2 divisions. |

Disappointingly that once again there are no

P&D Leagues 2022 Survey Results |
I received 13 replies to my questionnaire re P&D
Bowls leagues format for the forthcoming season. The replies
have been collated and were consequently discussed at our
latest committee meeting with the following conclusions: |
Question
1: Whilst most members
would prefer to play 4-rinks, it is thought that as a
small club with a small membership it could cause
problems with team selection throughout the season. Therefore the consensus of opinion to question 1 is
that S&C would say NO
to playing 4-rink matches.
|
Question 2:
Playing 3-rinks is the
preferred choice of the membership because it would be
more manageable with less problems on team
selection and also that we could put out stronger teams
(on paper). So,
the results to question 2 is YES the club would prefer
to play 3-rink league matches
|
Question 3: The replies
for this question was 7-6 in favour of 21 ends to be
played. Some members pointed out that 21-end
matches played on artificial surfaces take much longer
and sometimes it is difficult to complete these games in
good light. The answer to question 3 is
that the club does not mind playing 18 or 21 ends.
|
These views have been passed onto the P&D committee
for their deliberation in assessing the league format for
the 2022 season. |

Unfortunately, Bowls England (BE) haven't been
forthcoming on if they are changing entry fees for 2022, so

Combination - 3 rinks
of 4 bowlers playing over 21 ends & Mid-Week Triples - 3 rinks of 3
bowlers playing over 18 ends.
The League & Combination Divisions will NOT be
regionalised (i.e., teams will be travelling to clubs in
Portsmouth, Havant & Waterlooville and Gosport & Fareham).
The teams in each division will be the same as those sent
out in 2020 before bowls was cancelled due to the pandemic. |

However, the P&D are aware that after the last two years, clubs may
have problems in meeting these formats. Consequently, they
need input from each club on their thoughts. So the
questions that I'm asking you, the members, are :
1) Do you think that the club will be able to run a League team of
4 Rinks of 4 Bowlers?,
2)
Do you think that the club will
be able to run a League team of 3 Rinks of 4 Bowlers? and 3) In
League & Combination games would you prefer playing 18 or 21
Ends? I would be very grateful if you can reply to
those questions ASAP.
To be able to plan for 2022 the P&D require replies from
each club by the end of October 2021, so that the responses
can be put before the clubs when the next P&D Executive
Meeting is held.

Election of Officers for 2021/22 |
For what's it worth, I have posted
on the board in the clubhouse a notice for the election of officers for
2021/22 If you wish to sit on the committee for that period
please add your name to the list or am I wasting my time (again) with no
takers. |
