Ashford Bowls Club's Ron Searle and Matt Larman reached the final of this season's Middlesex County BA Association pairs competition and will now represent Middlesex at the national finals in Worthing.

Meanwhile, Marion Bushnell reached the semi-finals and Liz Dutton the quarter-finals of the Middlesex Women's BA singles event.

In the Thames Valley League, Ashford shared five points apiece with Bishop Duppas last Wednesday.

Both clubs won one and lost one both home and away. R Odell, A Blair and K Woodhead won their rink 17-15 for Ashford.

In the Fordbridge Mixed League on Tuesday, Ashford won two triples and Osterley one to take 6-2 points overall.

At the halfway stage Ashford were looking as though they might have won all three triples, but Osterley recovered the deficit on one of the triples to claim their two points.

Top scorers for Ashford were R Jones, W Bayley and K Woodhead with a 21-9 win.

In a women's match, Ashford won all three triples to run out 53-35 winners over Windsor Great Park.

Ashford were soon infront and never looked likely to lose the game.

Top scorers were F Stroude, M Law, J Goulds with an 18-8 win.

In Sunday, Richmond, Barnes & District Bowling Association League match, Ashford and Teddington took two points apiece.

Although Ashford were well ahead on points, both teams won a rink each.

However, the result was to be decided by the third rink which was the last to finish.

The players watched anxiously as the scores were level with just on end to play.

Sadly for Ashford their opponents won the last end by two shots which meant the game finished as 2 points each rather than a 3-1 win to Ashford.
