the GAME of BOWLS and my winning shot

It Happened at Barton on HUMBER
now when i was a 18 year old
i became a member of Birdwell Club
and it was there that i learned to play BOWLS,
the Crown green Version
you have some idea how quickley i learned
the annual knock of the club
i was drawn against the club captain
a Mr Whitley
i had 8 start it was 21 up
i beat him but did not get much further
was soon put in my place
that was in 1948,
in 1949 i joined the army
i never got to play bowls again
i left the army got wed
and brought up a family of4 2 lads 2 lasses
then i came to IMMINGHAM
Cleethorpes was the attraction soon wore off
i worked at Fisons
but got a part time Bus driving job
i told the Boss,i would do the sport rins for Nowt,ie Dart ,Bowls,Kids Footy
no he said i will give you half a crown
so came the day
when he said take IMMINGHAM Railway club Bowls team
to Barton
so off i sets with the team
i had not gone far
a tap on the shoulder this chap said can you play Bowls driver
i had not played for 20 years
YES , i said
OK he says
you are playing for us
and your Name is ???????? i could not remember
so i arrived at Barton
gets to the Bowling gren
they you cant play with those shoes
they took me to the side of the green
and there were what looked like Sandals
so i was taking my shoes off
NO,NO, you put them over your Shoes
so then i was given to WOODS
then came the Next shock
it was LINK bowling
where there are 5 teams of 4
and you play in lanes
(you have em on telly)
then of these 4 players there is aSKIP
ie the chap who tells you where to bowl as the game progresses
and he Bowls the last wood
well,in the team i was put,no they were not having that
they made me Bowl last
the game starts
i quickley got into it
remembering the BIAS they were taken by Surprise
How ever the game progressed
Barton by the way were the Champions
un beaten
now as the game came to close
our rink was the last,
because of me
it came to the very last end
i noticed all the other team were watching our Game
i was the last to Bowl i did not have a clue whos Ball was nearest to the Jack
and the players did not want to to tell me what to do
or the Barton lot would suspect a RINGER
however i sent my woood Down
there were 15 other woods round that Jack
my wood went and curved gently into the Bowls Gently Resting on the JACK
that was the Match winner
now i was not allowed to forget it
i was not invited to play i never played again
BUT when ever i was seen in the street
i was called ???????
